MPM 2013 - International Workshop on Multi-Paradigm Modeling

Multi-Paradigm Modeling (MPM) is a research field focused on solving the challenge of combining, coupling, and integrating rigorous models of some reality, at different levels of abstraction and views, using adequate modeling formalisms and semantic domains, with the goal to simulate (for optimization) or realize systems that may be physical, software or a combination of both. The key challenges are finding adequate Model Abstractions, Multi-formalism modeling, Model Transformation and the application of MPM techniques and tools to Complex Systems. MPM theories/methods/technologies have been successfully applied in the field of software architectures, control system design, model integrated computing, and tool interoperability. The seventh Workshop on Multi-Paradigm Modeling (MPM'13) is aimed at furthering the state-of-the-art as well as to define future directions of this emerging research area by bringing together world experts in the field for an intense one-day workshop.
