<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Abstract<BR>Most software development projects apply modelling in some stages of development and to various degrees in order to take advantage of the many and varied benefits of it. Modelling is, for example, applied for facilitating communication by hiding technical details, analysing a system from different perspectives, specifying its structure and behaviour in an understandable way, or even for enabling simulations and generating test cases in a mode-driven engineering approach. Thus, the evaluation of modelling techniques, languages and tools is needed in order to assess their advantages and disadvantages, to ensure their applicability to different contexts, their ease of use, and other issues such as skills and costs; either isolated or in comparison with other methods.<BR>This workshop aims to bring together professionals and researchers interested in software modelling to discuss in which way software modelling techniques may be evaluated, share experiences of performing such evaluations and discuss ideas for further research in this area. The workshop accepts both experience reports of applying software modelling in industry and research papers that describe more rigorous empirical studies performed in industry or academia.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Objectives <BR>* Build a better understanding of the industrial use of modelling techniques, languages and tools.<BR>* Start building theories about the effectiveness of modelling approaches.<BR>* Identify directions for future research in the field.<BR>* Facilitate and encourage joint research and experimentation in software modelling.</FONT></DIV>
