<p>MODELS'2010 Workshop</p>
<p>Oslo, Norway</p>

<p><br>=======================================================================</p>
<p> Modelling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical<br> notation. However, graphical notations were found to have<br> limitations in terms of specifying detailed aspects of a system<br> design and in terms of processing and managing models. Limitations<br>
in using graphical languages include: specifying detailed behaviour;<br> linking models to other traditional languages; making models<br> executable; model transformation; extensions to modelling languages;<br> model management. Many of these limitations have been addressed in<br>
recent years by proposals for textual modelling languages that<br> either integrate with or replace graphical notations for<br> modelling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF,<br> Epsilon, Alloy etc. The motivation for this workshop is to bring<br>
together researchers and practitioners in textual modelling to<br> report advances in the field, to share results, to identify common<br> areas and potential for integration, and to identify common tools<br> for developing textual modelling languages, with a view to<br>
advancing the state-of-the art. In particular the workshop will<br> provide a forum for existing textual modelling standards such as<br> OCL to be debated and the intention is that the workshop will engage<br> with the appropriate standards bodies to disseminate practitioner<br>
requirements and to report research results.</p>
<p>Topics<br>------</p>
<p>Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):<br>- New and/or succesful applications of textual modelling languages<br>- Mappings between textual modelling languages and other languages/formalisms<br>- New algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations for textual modelling languages for<br>
* validation, verification, and testing,<br> * model transformation and code generation,<br> * metamodeling/DSLs,<br> * query and constraint specifications<br>- Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modelling languages<br>
- Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modelling expressions <br>- Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modelling languages<br>- Complexity results for textual modelling languages<br>- Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating <br>
textual modelling tools and algorithms<br>- Case studies on industrial applications of textual modelling languages<br>- Experience reports:<br> * usage of textual modelling languages and tools in complex domains,<br> * usability of textual modelling languages and tools for end-users<br>
- Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modelling languages<br>- Innovative textual modelling tools</p>
<p>Venue<br>-----</p>
<p>The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS 2010 Conference in<br>Oslo, Norway. It continues the series of OCL workshops held at<br>previous UML/MODELS conferences: York (2000), Toronto (2001), San<br>Francisco (2003), Lisbon (2004), Montego Bay (2005), Genova (2006),<br>
Nashville (2007), Toulouse (2008) and Denver (2009). Similar to its<br>predecessors, the workshop addresses both people from academia and<br>industry. The aim is to provide a forum for<br>addressing integration of OCL and other textual modelling languages,<br>
as well tools for textual modelling,<br>and for disseminating good practice and discussing the<br>new requirements for textual modelling.</p>
<p>Workshop Format<br>---------------</p>
<p>The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel<br>sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions.</p>
<p>Submissions<br>-----------</p>
<p>Short papers (up to 5 pages) and full papers (up to 15 pages) can be<br>submitted to the workshop. All papers must follow LNCS style<br>guidelines and be uploaded to the Submission system (EasyChair):<br> <a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl10">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl10</a></p>
<p>The program committee will review the submissions (minimum 2 reviews<br>per paper) and select papers according to their relevance and interest<br>for discussions that will take place at the workshop. Accepted papers<br>
will be published at <a href="http://www.metamodel.com/">http://www.metamodel.com</a> and<br><a href="http://www-st.inf.tu-dresden.de/ocl/">http://www-st.inf.tu-dresden.de/ocl/</a> (the OCL Portal).</p>
<p>As in previous editions, it is planned that polished versions of<br>accepted papers will be published in cooperation with an international<br>publisher, e.g., the Electronic Communications of the EASST,<br><a href="http://eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de">eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de</a>.</p>
<p>Important Dates<br>---------------</p>
<p>Submissions of papers: July 30, 2010<br>Notification of acceptance: August 23, 2010<br>Camera-Ready paper versions: September 15, 2010</p>
