2nd International Workshop on
Model-Based Software and Data Integration MBSDI 2009

University of Western Sydney, Australia, April 21-24, 2009
co-located with ECOMO 2009 and ISTA 2009 @ UNISCON 2009

********************************************************************
Scope of the Workshop

Integration of data from heterogeneous distributed sources, and,
at the same time, integration of software components and systems,
in order to achieve full interoperability is one of the major
challenges and research areas in software industry today, as well
as the significant IT cost driving factor.

There is an increasing need and market pressure to systematically
address the integration problem, particularly in accidental
information infrastructures and IT architectures, that have grown
over time in an uncontrolled manner in different enterprise
environments.

The reason for the ever growing relevance of software integration
is the dynamic nature of todays business operations, where fast
enterprise decision making is essential. However, the relevant data
and functions, based on which decisions should be made, are
distributed over many heterogeneous and autonomous systems.
Retrieving this data and processing it, in order to generate the
added value services, requires an expensive and tedious software
development process. In general, there is no methodology that
enables systematic approach to this problem in order to combine
business data on demand in an ad-hoc manner. Finally, complexity
rises even more with modification and evolution of the (legacy)
systems.

The problem of software and data integration has been approached
from different perspectives and within different communities.
During the last couple of years, several approaches for system
integration have profiled and established themselves, such as
component-based software engineering (CBSE), service oriented
architecture (SOA) or ontology-based semantic integration. They
all address parts of the problem domain. However, a unified
methodology for software integration is still missing. Model-based
software engineering (MBSE) may be the paradigm that can combine
the results achieved so far in different fields. MBSE offers not
only the methodology but also standardized (meta)tools and platforms
for enterprise-wide and cross-enterprise integration of software
solutions with the ultimate goal of (semi)automatic generation of
business intelligence components.

Our workshop, after the success of MBSDI 2008, will be the second
of its kind in the context of the German regional initiative
BIZYCLE of collaborative development of methodologies and tools
for Model-Based Software and Data Integration. BIZYCLE is a joint
effort of software SMEs and science, directly addressing this
context, and trying to introduce a strict model-based design,
verification, development and evolution methodology. This
methodology applies to system integration concepts such as CBSE,
SOA or ontology-based integration.

For better synergy, MBSDI 2009 will be co-located with two
other relevant event, which complement our focus in this field:
ISTA 2009 and ECOMO 2009. All three events will we held under
the roof of UNISCON 2009.

Contributions with a strong theoretical and technical background,
as well as contributions focusing on domain knowledge and practical
/industrial experience, are both welcome. Particularly, software
and data integration solutions in the context of health care,
facility management, logistics and publishing are welcome, as they
coincide with the focus domains of our research initiative. However,
this does not exclude quality contributions describing solutions
from other application domains, like e.g. automotive or avionics.
