CALL FOR PAPERS - MOMPES 2012

8th International Workshop on Model-Based Methodologies
for Pervasive and Embedded Software

Collocated with ASE 2012 (27th IEEE/ACM International
Conference on Automated Software Engineering), Essen,
Germany, 3-7 September 2012

http://www.di.uminho.pt/mompes/2012/

***********************************************************

1 THEME AND TOPICS

Model-Based Development (MBD) is a software development
approach that relies on modelling and on systematic
transition from models to executable code. This workshop
focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects related
to the adoption of MBD methodologies (notations,
processes, methods, and tools) for the construction of
software for pervasive and embedded systems. In the
context of ASE 2012, the workshop focuses on how to
automate or partially automate tasks in this area to
achieve significant improvements in quality and
productivity.

Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

* Automated and Semi-automated Techniques
* Applied Formal Methods for Embedded Systems
* Semantics of Modelling Languages, Integration of Models
* Model Transformation and Code Generation
* Model-based Analysis, Testing and Verification
* Meta-modelling and Tools
* Feature Modelling
* Variability Modelling and Variability Realization
* Domain-specific Languages and Modelling
* Modelling of Non-Functional Requirements
* Model-based Architectures
* Software Process, Product Lines and Frameworks
* Model-based Traceability and Consistency
* Models for Ultra-Large Scale Systems
* Model-based Evolution and Change Management
* Experience Reports and Case Studies
* Reuse and Component-based Architectures
* Architectural Recovery in Legacy Systems
* Managing inconsistencies
* Model-based Testing, Model-driven Testing and Test-Driven
Development

We explicitly invite experience reports and case studies
related to these topics.

2 SUBMISSIONS

We are seeking for research papers and experience reports
(max. 15 pages) as well as short and position papers (max.
6 pages). Submissions must conform to the LNCS template
available at

http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

and should be submitted via the EasyChair website at

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mompes2012

Submissions will be selected based on the relevance to the
workshop topics and the suitability to trigger interesting
discussions. Each paper will be reviewed by at least 3
members of the PC.

***********************************************************

3 IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission: 21 June 2012
Notification: 19 July 2012
Camera ready copy: 2 August 2012
Workshop: 4 September 2012

***********************************************************

4 WORKSHOP FORMAT

The workshop will have a strong emphasis on interaction
between participants. Hence, we intend to use a
combination of (1) paper presentations with discussions on
paper topics in the morning and (2) an interactive session
in the afternoon.
