<font size="2"><font face="Arial">Languages for modeling and
programming are diverging, with the implication that developers who
would like to model end up with the challenge of maintaining both model
and program artifacts. In addition, modeling is hampered by poor tool
support compared to programming. The trend in programming languages is
that less attention is paid to the fact that programming should be a
kind of modeling, and state-of-art for executable models does not cover
what programs usually cover.<br>
<br>
It has not always been like this. The very first object-oriented
programming language, SIMULA, was also considered (and used) as a
modeling language. Modeling and programming have evolved since SIMULA.
The aim of this workshop is to investigate how combined modeling and
programming languages would be as of today, by identifying candidate
elements for such languages, propose potential combined mechanisms, and
by describing implementation techniques.</font></font><font face="Arial"

<font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The workshop welcomes
submissions that address the following topics:<br>
<br>
</span></font><font size="2"><font face="Arial"> * Differences and
similarities between modeling and programming<br>
* Modeling constructs not supported by programming languages and
vice versa<br>
* Support for functional and constraint programming in modeling and
programming languages<br>
* Support for concurrent / distributed modeling and programming<br>
* Associations and state-machines in programming languages.<br>
* The role of constructs for describing
snapshots/scenarios/examples in relation to a combined programming and
modeling language<br>
* Graphical versus textual syntax<br>
* Tools for modeling and programming<br>
* Implementation techniques<br>
* Techniques for embedding domain specific languages in a combined
language.<br>
* Conceptual means for modeling and programming<br>
* New mechanisms to raise the level of abstraction<br>
* Experience reports regarding pros/cons in using separate modeling
and programming languages, modeling in a programming language, <br>
executable modeling languages, etc.<br>
* Methods for teaching modeling and abstraction to programmers </font></font>
