Call for Papers - MOMPES 2010

The 7th International Workshop on
Model-Based Methodologies for
Pervasive and Embedded Software

Collocated with ASE 2010, Antwerp, Belgium

http://www.di.uminho.pt/~mompes/2010/

==============================================================

1 THEME AND TOPICS

Model-Based Development (MBD) comprises approaches to
software development, relying on modelling and the
systematic transition from models to executable code. This
workshop focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects
of the adoption of MBD methodologies (notations, processes,
methods, and tools) for the construction of software for
pervasive and embedded systems. In the context of the
International Conference on Automated Software Engineering,
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 in Model-based
Engineering of Pervasive and Embedded Systems

* 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


==============================================================

2 SUBMISSIONS

We are seeking for research papers and experience reports
(max. 8 pages) and position papers (2-4 pages). Submissions
must conform to the template of the main conference.
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 Program Committee. The electronic
submission will be handled through Easychair at

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mdple2010

==============================================================

3 IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission: 31 May 2010

Notification: 30 June 2010

Camera ready copy: 12 July 2010

Workshop: 20 September 2010

==============================================================

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.
