MODELS 2009 Call for Paper


M O D E L S 2 0 0 9
ACM/IEEE 12th International Conference on
Model Driven Engineering
Languages and Systems

Denver, Colorado, USA October 4-9, 2009

http://www.modelsconference.org/

The MODELS Conference Series
----------------------------
=85 is devoted to model-based development for software and systems
engineering,
covering all categories of modeling languages, methods, tools, and
their
applications. Engineering models have long been used in the development
of
complex systems and the approach is also becoming more prevalent in
the
design of modern software systems. Methodologies and tools are
emerging
and applied successfully in practice. They create and manipulate such
models
starting with the earliest phases of development through to
implementation
and testing.

The MODELS series of conferences (http://www.modelsconference.org/) is
the premier venue for the exchange of innovative technical ideas and
experiences relating to model-based approaches in the development of
complex systems. To provide a broader forum for reporting on
scientific
progress as well as experiences and issues stemming from practical
application of model-based methods, the 2009 conference has two
distinct
tracks:

  • A scientific track
  • An empirical results track

Papers in each track will be evaluated by separate program committees
based
on criteria appropriate to that track.

Call for Papers - The Scientific Track

Over the years model-based development has gained rapidly increasing
popularity
across various engineering disciplines. Numerous efforts resulted in
the
invention of concepts, languages, and tools for the definition,
analysis,
transformation, and extension of domain-specific modeling languages as
well as
general-purpose modeling language standards. Problems in this domain
span
multiple disciplines and have to be addressed by collaborative
research
activities spanning domains such as industrial automation, business
engineering,
hardware/software co-design, real-time system development, Web 2.0
application
design, and so forth.

A primary objective of the scientific track of MODELS is to build a
forum for
exchange and discussion of new research results dedicated to advancing
the
state-of-the-art of model-based development in general. Topics of
interest
include but are not limited to:

Submission Process - Scientific Track

Long (15 pages) and short (5 pages) paper submissions must conform to
the
Springer LNCS formatting guidelines:

http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0

All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
simultaneously
for publication elsewhere. They will undergo a thorough review process
by a
track-specific committee comprising leading experts from academia and
industry;
however, papers that are too long or violate the LNCS formatting
instructions
will be rejected. Accepted papers will be published in a conference
proceedings
by Springer in the LNCS series.

Authors of best papers from the conference will be invited to revise
and submit
extended versions of their papers for a special issue of the Journal on

Software and Systems Modeling (Springer Press).

For further details concerning the submission process consult

Call for Papers - The Empirical Results Track

As with any emerging technical discipline, model-based engineering
approaches to
software and system development give rise to a unique set of challenges
related
to practical application. These include a very diverse list of issues
such as
problems of scaling to multi-domain and geographically distributed
teams,
difficulties of integrating new methods and tools into legacy
environments,
resistance to culture change, and coping with immature technologies.
Nevertheless, there are numerous practical examples of industrial
application of
model-based engineering in which such problems have been overcome,
resulting in
successful systems that clearly demonstrate the viability and the
advantages of
model-based methods. Unfortunately, there is still insufficient
awareness among
many practitioners of such results and the potential of these methods
for
delivering major increases in productivity and product quality. A
primary
objective of the MODELS empirical results track is to provide a
realistic and
verifiable picture of the current state-of-the-practice of model-based
engineering.

Both long and short papers are sought. In addition to experience
reports, papers
that describe innovative solutions and concepts stemming from practical
application
of model-based methods and tools in industrial settings are deemed
highly relevant
to this track. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

About Denver and the Conference Center

Denver is one of America's most beautiful cities. It is located at the
base of
the Rocky Mountains and has 300 days of sunshine. Denver has a great
love of
the outdoors. It is close to the Rocky Mountain National Park and
several 14-ers,
mountain peaks that are 14,000 ft or higher. It is also a cultural and
sophisticated city. According to the official website of the Denver
Metro Convention
and Visitors Bureau (http://www.denver.org/), "The city has more than
40 museums
and historic attractions, from Buffalo Bill's Grave & Museum to Daniel
Libeskind's
amazing new Denver Art Museum. =85 The Denver Zoo is the fourth most
popular in the
nation."

The conference will be held in the Hyatt Regency, Denver Tech Center.
It is in the
heart of the Tech Center business conclave, and minutes from both
downtown and airport.
