********* 8th System Analysis and Modelling Conference  (SAM'14) *********

*** Deadline approaching - May 26th for abstracts, Jun 02nd for papers ***
**** Keynote speakers confirmed: Lionel Briand and Jean-Marc Jézéquel ****

SAM'14, co-sponsored by ACM, IEEE and the SDL Forum Society and in
agreement with ITU-T Study Group 17 (responsible for ITU System Design
Languages), will be held in incredible Valencia, Spain, from the 29th to
the 30th of September, 2014.

The deadline for submission of paper abstracts and full papers is rapidly
approaching. This year's theme of SAM is ***Models and Reusability*** but
contributions in other topics, not limited to, language development,
model-driven development, and applications are also invited. Proceedings
will be published in the Springer LNCS series.

   Submissions: http://sdl-forum.org/Events/SAM2014/submission.htm

The ***keynotes*** at SAM'14 will be presented by Lionel Briand and
Jean-Marc Jézéquel. Lionel Briand is Professor (FNR PEARL chair) in
software engineering and is Vice-Director at the Centre for ICT Security,
Reliability, and Trust (SnT), University of Luxembourg. He is a highly
regarded expert in the areas of software verification and model-driven
engineering, performing research with strong and sustained industrial
collaborations. He is an IEEE Fellow, and is the recipient of the IEEE CS
Harlan Mills award, and the IEEE Reliability Society’s engineer-of-the-year
award.

Jean-Marc Jézéquel is Professor at the University of Rennes, Director of
the Institut de Recherche en Informatique et Systèmes Aléatoires (IRISA)
and a distinguished contributor to research in model-driven engineering and
software product lines. Jean-Marc is also a member of Inria's Triskell
team, which he headed from 2001 to 2011 and where he established the
Kermeta (Kernel Metamodeling) environment. Kermeta defines a core
metamodeling toolkit for advanced model-driven tools and inspired
significant progress in the area of software language engineering.

Participation in SAM'14 is a unique opportunity to attend both SAM'14 and
MODELS'14 and meet researchers, industrial practitioners, educators, and
students with overlapping domains of interest in modeling. Not to be
missed, Valencia's rich cultural heritage of music, art, gastronomy,
architecture and folklore is waiting to be explored.
