Workshop summary
------------------------------
As Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is increasingly applied to larger
and more complex systems, the current generation of modelling and
model management technologies are being pushed to their limits in
terms of capacity and efficiency. As such, additional research and
development is imperative in order to enable MDE to remain relevant
with industrial practice and to continue delivering its
widely-recognised productivity, quality, and maintainability benefits.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a venue where developers and
users of modelling and model management languages and tools can
present problems and solutions related to topics such as:
- Working with large models
- Collaborative modelling (version control, collaborative editing)
- Transformation and validation of large models
- Model fragmentation and modularity mechanisms
- Efficient model persistence and retrieval
- Models and model transformations on the cloud
- Visualization techniques for large models
Workshop format
------------------------------
The duration of the workshop is one day. The workshop format includes
a keynote talk, as well as paper and demo presentations. The workshop
will close with a wrap-up discussion that will formulate the
workshop's conclusions, identify the open issues, and outline future
lines of work.
Selection procedure
------------------------------
All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the
program committee. Papers must be submitted in PDF format and strictly
adhere to the ACM SIG proceedings format. We advocate two types of
papers: tool demonstration papers which should not exceed 4 pages in
size, and regular papers which should not exceed 10 pages including
all text, references, appendices and figures. Paper submissions will
be made electronically via the workshop submission web page, using the
EasyChair service. All submissions must be original work, and must not
have been previously published, nor be under consideration for
publication, elsewhere. At least one author of each accepted paper
should register for the conference and participate in the workshop.
Publication plans
------------------------------
We intend to publish accepted papers in the ACM Digital Library
through the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.
