MOB 2013 - International Workshop on Modeling Outside the Box

The MODELS conference has been running for over fifteen years. Model-driven development, as an idea, is much older. Like any mature community, there is a natural tendency over time for members of the community to think alike and do alike. Research advances become mostly incremental because the community is unable to step beyond accepted boundaries; truly radical ideas are too risky.
Through a series of creativity, lateral thinking, and brainstorming activities, the Modeling Outside the Box (MOTB) workshop will ask participants to think outside the box and imagine different, radical, innovative forms of model-driven engineering (MDE). Participants will be asked to leave behind all their preconceived notions of MDE and to approach the issue of MDE from a different angle. This will be a highly interactive workshop in which facilitators will use tried-and-tested methods for fostering creativity to generate fresh new ideas for MDE.
