BACKGROUND
The Nordic Workshop on Model Driven Software Engineering brings together 
industry practitioners and academic researchers to share experiences and 
latest research on model driven software engineering and development. 
The workshop is a forum to present experiences and ongoing research in 
software engineering and model-driven engineering in particular, but 
also functions as an event for establishing co-operative research 
projects between the participants and working on joint research papers.

Model driven software development approaches (MDE, MDA, MDD) have 
matured and grown out from an academic research community to gain wider 
industrial adoption. They are now perceived as one of the mainstream 
technologies to improve the productivity of software teams and the 
quality of products. Model-driven engineering can bring important 
benefits to software architectures; however there are still challenges 
to be addressed in order to realize a successful integration. This year, 
the NW-MoDE workshop focuses on the relations between the model-driven 
paradigm and the software architecture field.

WORKSHOP PROGRAMME WILL INCLUDE:
• Presentations of the accepted papers
• Special sessions on selected topics
• Industrial presentations
• Working sessions
• Panel discussion

TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
• Model-driven development and software architecture
• Experiences and applications: empirical work on modeling and model 
driven engineering, and experiences in working with models in industry;
• Model driven development: model based software and system engineering, 
analysis of models, model transformations, approaches supporting reuse, 
and tool support for modeling;
• Models in Web Services engineering;
• Modeling languages: domain specific languages and profiles, 
standardization activities, language design and engineering, and tool 
support;
• Modeling processes: processes for model driven engineering, and 
modeling of engineering processes;
• Model processing operations: version management of models, model 
integration, model differencing, and model synthesis;
• Quality of models and modeling: measuring quality of models, and 
modeling processes;
• Model-based/driven testing, validation and verification, and
• Other topics: model integration, code generation from models, reverse 
engineering into models, and evolution of models.
