[ecoop-info] CFP: Workshop on Model-Driven Innovations for Software Engineering (MDI4SE), April 27-28, 2016, Rome, Italy (co-located with ENASE 2016)

[Gundars Alksnis]

=== CALL FOR PAPERS ===
The Workshop on Model-Driven Innovations for Software Engineering MDI4SE co-located with the ENASE 2016 (http://www.enase.org/MDI4SE.aspx)

The Workshop focuses on theoretical and practical aspects of Object Management Group’s Model-Driven Architecture, Model-Driven Software Development, Model-Driven Engineering, and other Model-Driven Innovations for Software Engineering. It also aims to bring together academics and researchers to share and discuss on Domain-Specific Languages based on models.

The Workshop continues the series of events organized from 2009 that aims to foster research on foundations, practical applications and implications of Model-Driven Architecture on a software development.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 * Computation Independent Model: knowledge model (pre-CIM), business model, business requirements
 * Formalization of deriving use-cases from the CIM-business model 
 * Automatic and semi-automatic transformation from CIM to PIM 
 * Modeling theory-driven development of software 
 * Reconciling software requirements and architectures within MDA 
 * Modeling formalization of MDA’s software development 
 * Model transformation and code generation 
 * Model based techniques to guarantee the quality and efficiency of software development 
 * Domain modeling approaches in information systems engineering 
 * Model-Driven domain modeling, analysis and software development 
 * Domain-Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs) 
 * Domain-Specific Languages based on models 
 * Language usability, adoption and development environments 
 * Abstract and concrete syntax for models 
 * Internal and external Domain-Specific Language 
 * Models for software product lines 
 * Models for SOA and web service design 
 * MDA-based distributed real-time and embedded systems 
 * Innovations and improvements of MDA 
 * MDA tools 
 * Round-trip engineering 
 * Prototyping 
 * Testing, verification and debugging 
 * Metrics for models 
 * Foundations, including formal methods, semantics and theory 
 * Industry standards and regulation 
 * High-level frameworks and high-performance computing 
 * Teaching MDE and using MDE in teaching 
 * Trade-offs in MDE and MDA adoption 
 * Examples of successful MDE-based projects

=== PAPER SUBMISSION ===
The Workshop invites researchers to submit papers in any of the topics listed above in one of the following categories: full papers (12 pages limit) or short papers (8 pages limit).
Papers must be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system (http://www.insticc.org/Primoris)

=== PUBLICATIONS ===
After thorough reviewing by the Workshop program committee complemented by members of the main conference program committee, all accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on a CD-ROM.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). 
SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every paper is given a DOI.
