PMDE 2012 - Second Workshop on Process-based approaches for Model-Driven Engineering

Building complex and trustworthy software systems in the shortest time-to-market remains the challenging objective that competitive companies are facing constantly. A more challenging objective for these companies is to be able to formalize their development processes in order to analyze them, to simulate and execute them, and to reason about their possible improvement. In the last decade, the Model-Driven Engineering approach has proven its effectiveness for the specification and realization of large and complex systems. However its use in the field of process modeling and execution is still not fully exploited. The PMDE Workshop aims to gather researchers and industrial practitioners working in the field of Model-Based Engineering, and more particularly on the use of processes to improve software reliability and productivity.
The PMDE workshop will invite papers presenting research results or work-in-progress in all areas of process-based approaches for model-driven engineering, including:
Modeling software and systems processes for model-driven engineering
Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) for modeling software and systems processes
Transformation-based process modeling: structural and behavioral aspects
MDE Process patterns: modeling and application
MDE Process patterns for reuse: definition, search methods, application of patterns
Process models refactoring and composition
Process lines and MDE
Verification of process models
MDE process enactment and simulation
MDE Process resource management
Process metrics for model-driven engineering
Management of distributed MDE processes
MDE process evolution: static evolution, process models refactoring, dynamic process evolution, process deviations management
Process-centered MDE tools
Description of case studies based on MDE processes, experimentations on real projects, empirical studies
We ask for papers in LaTeX or Word format and not exceeding 12 pages in the LNCS style (for instructions on the Springer LNCS format, please refer to Information for LNCS authors). The paper should present original research work related to the above-cited topics and should not be published or submitted simultaneously to other workshops, conferences or journals. Industrial papers are welcome.
