CALL FOR PAPERS

MOMPES 2013

9th International Workshop on Model-Based Methodologies for Pervasive and Embedded Software
11 November 2013, Silicon Valley, CA, USA

Collocated with ASE 2013 (28th IEEE/ACM International Conference on
Automated Software Engineering), Silicon Valley, 11-15 November 2013

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

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 2013, 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 the
following topics applied to Embedded and Pervasive Systems:
* Semantics of Modelling Languages
* Meta-modelling, Domain-Specific Languages
* Model Transformation and Code Generation
* Model-based Analysis, Testing and Verification
* Test-Driven Development
* Applied Formal Methods
* Feature-oriented Techniques, Variability Modelling and Variability Realization
* Reuse and Component-based Architectures
* Modelling of Non-Functional Requirements
* Model-based Architectures
* Model-based Traceability and Consistency
* (Models for) Ultra-Large Scale Systems
* (Models for) Cyber-Physical Systems
* Integration of Models
* Model-based Evolution and Change Management
* Architectural Recovery in Legacy Systems
* Managing inconsistencies
* Pervasive systems in new contexts, e.g., Information Systems
We explicitly invite experience reports and case studies related to these topics.


2 SUBMISSIONS

We are seeking for research papers and experience reports (max. 10 pages) and short/position papers (max. 5 pages). Submissions must conform to ACM SEN's formatting guidelines http://www.sigsoft.org/SEN/subpub.html and should be submitted via the EasyChair submission system available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mompes2013
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 three members of the PC.
Accepted papers will be published in an ACM SIG newsletter. By submitting authors are granting permission for ACM to publish in print and digital formats for the newsletter and the ACM archive. The authors retain copyright as is the case with any ACM newsletter publication of original material. ìCopyright is held by author.It should appear on the first page of each paper.
