[ecoop-info] MoDELS 2011 - Call for Workshops

[Jörg Kienzle]

ACM/IEEE 14th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems
Call for Workshops

The MODELS series of conferences is the premier venue for the exchange of innovative technical ideas and experiences relating to model- driven approaches in the development of software-based systems. Topics covered by the conference include domain-specific modeling languages, model-driven engineering, model transformations, aspect-oriented modeling, verification and validation and real-time.

Following the tradition of previous conferences, MODELS 2011 will host a number of workshops, during the three days before the main conference. The workshops will provide a collaborative forum for a group of typically 15 to 30 participants to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to conduct intensive discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate efforts between representatives of a technical community. They are intended as a forum for lively discussion of innovative ideas, recent progress, or practical experience on model-driven engineering for specific aspects, specific problems, or domain-specific needs. Each workshop should provide a balanced distribution of its time for both presentation of papers (favoring the attendance of young researchers) and discussions. We encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit proposals for highly-interactive workshops focusing on areas related to modeling in general. Both research-oriented and applied topics are welcome. The duration of these workshops is in general one day, but we encourage the submission of half-day workshop proposals on focussed topics as well.

Submissions

Please ensure that you adhere to the workshop proposal guidelines providing all requested information using at most five pages (see call for workshops page at http://www.modelsconference.org/ for details). In addition, please provide a one page draft of your planned Call for Papers to the proposal (not included in the five pages). Submit your workshop proposal electronically in PDF using the Springer LNCS style to workshops at modelsconference.org.
