Presentation
---------------------------
Model-Based Engineering (MBE) is an approach to the design and
development of software and systems that relies on exploiting high-
level models and computer-based automation to achieve significant
boosts in both productivity and quality. The ECMFA (European
Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications) conference
series (formerly known as the ECMDA-FA conference series) is dedicated
to advancing the state of knowledge and fostering the industrial
application of MBE and related approaches. Its focus is on engaging
the key figures of research and industry in a dialogue which will
result in stronger and more effective practical application of MBE,
producing thereby more reliable software based on state-of-the-art
research results.
In addition to the technical paper, the conference will include
workshops, tutorials, tool demonstrations, and poster exhibitions on
these topics.
Below are the calls for these various events.
---------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------
ECMFA has two distinct paper tracks: one for research papers (Track F)
dealing with the foundations for MBE, and one for industrial/
applications papers (Track A) dealing with the applications of MBE,
including experience reports on MBE tools.
Submission procedure is described at http://www.ecmfa-2010.org/index.php/paper-submission
Accepted papers (tracks F and A) are planned to be published in a
dedicated Springer LNCS volume.
Important dates
--------------------
Abstract submission: January 22, 2010
Full paper submission : January 29, 2010
Acceptance notification: March 12, 2010
Final paper due: April 2, 2010
Program Chairs
---------------------
Thomas Kühne, Victoria University of Wellington (Foundations Track)
Bran Selic, Malina (Applications Track)
Keynote Speakers
------------------------
Colin Atkinson, Universität Mannheim, Germany
Diarmuid Corcoran, Ericsson, Sweden
----------------------------------
CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
----------------------------------
Researchers and practitioners interested in organising a satellite
workshop in the context of ECMFA 2010 are invited to submit proposals
on topics related to the conference.
The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a forum
for presenting novel ideas, and to discuss them in an open and
interactive atmosphere. Responsibility for the format and organisation
of each workshop rests with the submitters of the workshop proposal.
The ECMFA conference organisers will provide rooms, audio-visual
equipment, and other logistical support. They will also offer the
possibility of publishing the workshop proceedings in the CTIT
Proceedings Series, with assigned ISBN/ISSN. The workshop proposals
will be selected by the workshop chair, according to the advice of the
ECMFA steering committee.
Workshop Applications
-------------------------------
Workshop proposals should include:
- The name and the duration (half a day, one day, or two days) of the
proposed workshop
- A statement of the workshop goals
- A short scientific summary of the topic, including a discussion on
the relationship with the ECMFA topics
- A description of past versions of the workshop (if any), including,
where possible, dates, organisers, submission and acceptance counts,
and attendance
- Procedures for selecting participants and papers, and expected
number of participants
- Expected background of the participants
- Plans for dissemination (for example, published proceedings or
special issues of journals)
Workshop Submission
------------------------------
Electronic submissions (in PDF) should be sent to the workshops chair:
Arnaud Cuccuru (arnaud.cuccuru at cea.fr).
Workshop Proposals: January 14, 2010
Workshop Notifications: January 21, 2010
---------------------------
CALL FOR TUTORIALS
---------------------------
The ECMDA-FA 2010 conference is interested in tutorials that address
state-of-the-art modeling ideas. Examples of topic areas for tutorial
proposals are contained in the following non-exhaustive list:
- applying MDE in software development
- tools to support modeling and MDE
- advances in the practical use of MDE techniques
- modeling engineering and process management
- modeling for re-engineering and legacy evolution
Tutorial Applications
----------------------------
Tutorial proposals should include:
- Title
- Abstract (200 words)
- Keywords
- Presenters (name, e-mail address, affiliation, address, and a brief
biography)
- Tutorial objectives
- Target audience
Tutorial Submission
--------------------------
Electronic submissions (in PDF or plain text) should not exceed five
pages. They should be sent to the tutorial chair:
Xavier Blanc (Xavier.Blanc at lip6.fr).
Tutorial Proposals: January 14, 2010
Tutorial Notifications: January 21, 2010
Tutorial Review Process
--------------------------------
The proposals received will be reviewed by the Selection Committee to
ensure a high quality and appropriate mix for the conference. The goal
of the Selection Committee is to provide a diverse set of tutorials
that attract a large interest among the broad segments within the
diverse ECMDA-FA community. Members of the Selection Committee are as
follows:
- Andrey Sadovykh, Softeam, France
- Ragnhild Van Der Straeten, Vrije Universiteit, Belgium
- Tom Ritter, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany
- Xavier Blanc, University Pierre et Marie Curie, France (chair)
Tutorial presenters will receive an honorarium depending on the number
of attendees. The precise amount of the honorarium will be determined
immediately after the early registration deadline.
Tutorials that have less than 8 early registrants will face the risk
of cancellation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR TOOLS DEMONSTRATIONS AND CONSULTANCY PRESENTATIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECMFA has traditionally had a very strong tools and consultancy track
since this is often the meeting place between academic and industrial
people interested in the practice of MBE. In this track, we are
soliciting demonstrations of academic, open source, and commercial
tools for applying MBE. MBE Consultants are also welcome to
participate in this track and should prepare a portfolio of their
recent MBE consulting engagements. Commercial tool vendors and
consultants will be required to take up a level of sponsorship in
order to participate in the Tools track.
The tool and consultancy track consists of:
- A tools and services presentation track, running in parallel to the
main sessions of the conference.
- An exhibition area where tool providers and consultants can
demonstrate their tools and services to the conference attendees.
- A poster area where open source and academic tools can present their
tools to the conference attendees.
Each exhibitor will have the possibility to get a slot in the tools
and services presentation track, which can be used to discuss and
demonstrate their proposals. Academic and open source tool providers
with posters will also be scheduled in the tools and services track.
All presentations from this track will be published in the CTIT
Proceedings Series and as a technical report available on the web site
as PDF download.
Tools and Consultancy Applications
-------------------------------------------------
Tools and Consultancy proposals should include:
- Your affiliation
- A comprehensive (two to four pages) description of the tool(s) or/
and service(s) to be presented, with emphasis on the aspects that make
the tool(s) or/and service(s) relevant in the context of MBE
- The maturation level of your tool, including whether your tool is
academic, open source, or commercial.
- Whether you want to participate in the tools presentation track, or
only to the exhibition
Tools and Consultancy Submission
------------------------------------------------
Electronic submissions (in PDF) should be sent to the Tools and
Consultancy chair :
Sébastien Gérard (sebastien.gerard at cea.fr).
Tools and Consultancy Proposals: April 6, 2010
