MDTPI 2010 - Third Workshop on Model-Driven Tool & Process Integration (MDTPI 2010)

Third Workshop on Model-Driven Tool & Process Integration (MDTPI 2010)

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is on the advance. The reason for this advance is the promise of handling the increase of complexity within the software and its development process by raising the level of abstraction using models as information storage. In the past years tool vendors adapted the approach of using models as information storage of their applications utilizing the advantages of these technologies (e.g. model querying, model consistency, implicit interface, notification mechanisms). Other vendors now provide the possibility to import and export models. But still, out of different reasons some tool vendors do not respond to this trend. In this case 3rd party vendors provide adapters. All that shows, that MDE has made good progress, with regard to the information representation. Now that tool internal information becomes available as models, the problem of integration and distribution still exists, and is one of the next barriers to tackle on the way to an efficient and productive MDE environment.
The workshop in general addresses the area of application lifecycle management. Its main concern is the integration of tools and efficient distribution of information in development environments underlying with and underlying process based on MDE techniques such as model transformation. The aim of the workshop is to join researchers and practitioners in the field of development tool and process integration.
