**** Theme ****

Model-driven development (MDD) shifts the development focus from code to
models. The major advantage of this is that practitioners can tackle the
inability of third-generation languages (such as Java, C++ and Python) to
alleviate the complexity of development platforms and express high-level
concepts effectively. Thus the goal of this workshop is to bring together
students, researchers and practitioners with different backgrounds and who
have worked directly or indirectly with MDD to: (i) discuss the beneficial
and harmful impact of MDD on practitioners’ productivity; (ii) understand
how MDD is currently being applied in industrial projects; (iii) identify
possible factors affecting its success/failure; and (iv) discuss the
fundamental principles, state-of-the-art techniques, good practices, and
emerging challenges governing the contemporary application of MDD.


**** Topics of Interest ****

We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all
topics related to MDD. These include, but are not limited to:

* Domain-specific modeling languages (e.g., UML profiles, SySML, etc)
* Domain-specific modeling environment
* Model composition
* Model transformation
* Modeling tools
* Reverse engineering
* Experience report in model-driven development
* Good practices in model-driven development
* Model management
* New paradigms in model-driven development
* Model-driven software product lines
* Metamodeling
* Empirical studies on model-driven development


**** Paper Submission Details ****

We are soliciting research papers or experience reports, which describe
ongoing work, new ideas or experiences (up to 8 pages), and position
papers (up to 4 pages). Paper submission must conform to the SBC format
(http://www.sbc.org.br). All submissions must be original, unpublished,
and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. All submitted
paper will be reviewed by at least three program committee members.
