<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The MODELS Conference Series invites future participants to register. Early registration is possible until September 7</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The MODELS series of conferences is the premier venue for the exchange of innovative technical ideas and experiences relating to model-based approaches in the development of complex systems. The event is devoted to model-based development for software and systems engineering, covering all categories of modeling languages, methods, tools, and their applications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * A scientific track<BR> * An empirical results track</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The MODELS 2009 Conference is proud to present the following distinguished keynote speakers:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Stephen J. Mellor. Keynote title: Models. Models. Models. So What? (October 7) <BR> * Larry L. Constantine. Keynote title: Interaction Design and Model-Driven Development (October 8) <BR> * Grady Booch. Keynote title: Architectural Mining: The Other Side of the MDD (October 9)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The MODELS 2009 Conference includes a variety of exciting satellite events:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * 10 Workshops covering different aspects of model-based development:<BR> - 2nd International Workshop on Model Based Architecting and Construction of Embedded Systems<BR> - 14th International Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Modeling <BR> - First International Workshop on Feature-Oriented Software Development<BR> - Models and Evolution <BR> - <A href="mailto:Models@run.time">Models@run.time</A> <BR> - Model-driven Engineering, Verification, and Validation: Integrating Verification and Validation in MDE <BR> - Third International Workshop on Multi-Paradigm Modeling <BR> - 2nd International Workshop on Non-Functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages <BR> - The Pragmatics of OCL and Other Textual Specification Languages<BR> - 2nd Workshop on Transformation and Weaving OWL Ontologies and MDE/MDA </DIV>

<DIV>About Denver and the Conference Center<BR>--------------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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 (<A href="http://www.denver.org/">http://www.denver.org/</A>), "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. ... The Denver Zoo is the fourth most popular in the nation."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
