The purpose of the International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and
Software Development, MODELSWARD 2017, is to provide a platform for
researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals
from all over the world to present their research results and development
activities in using models and model driven engineering techniques for
Software Development. Model-Driven Development (MDD) is an approach to the
development of IT systems in which models take a central role, not only for
analysis of these systems but also for their construction. MDD has emerged
from modelling initiatives, most prominently the Model-Driven Architecture
(MDA) fostered by the Object Management Group (OMG). In the scope of MDA, a
couple of technologies have been developed that became the cornerstones of
MDD, like metamodelling and model transformations. MDD relies on languages
for defining metamodels, like the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and Ecore
(developed in the scope of the Eclipse Modelling Framework), and
transformation specification languages like QVT and ATL.

MDD is already around for some years and is about to become commodity in
software development due to its benefits (reduction on development costs,
improvement of software quality, reduction of maintenance costs and the
support for controlled evolution of IT systems). MDD has also been applied
in many application areas, such as real-time and embedded systems, and
telecommunication systems, and, more recently, to the development and
integration of enterprise information systems. However, the MDD research
community is wishing to explore the bounds of MDD, by investigating new
applications areas and combinations with other emerging technologies, like,
for example, pervasive context-aware systems, semantic web, semantic web
services, service-oriented architecture, ontologies and cloud computing.
This conference aims at fostering the further development and application of
MDD techniques for software systems.

Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and
general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged.
Papers reporting on original work in any of the areas listed below are
welcome. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors,
will be published in the Proceedings of MODELSWARD. The submitted papers
will be reviewed by at least three experts in this area, and acceptance will
be based on quality, relevance and originality. The conference is open to
full research and (short) work-in-progress papers. Sessions are planned for
both oral and poster presentations.

 

MODELSWARD 2017 will be held in conjunction with  <http://www.icissp.org/>
ICISSP 2017 and  <http://www.sensornets.org/> SENSORNETS 2017.

Registration to MODELSWARD allows free access to the ICISSP and SENSORNETS
conferences (as a non-speaker).

 

 

KEYNOTE LECTURES

MODELSWARD 2017 will have several invited keynote speakers, who are
internationally recognized experts in their areas. Their names are not yet
confirmed.

 

PUBLICATIONS

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under
an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.

SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every
paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the
SCITEPRESS Digital Library.

The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters
Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier
Engineering Village Index) and Scopus.

 

AWARDS

The awards will be announced and bestowed at the conference closing session.
