*** Event Descriptions ***
Grand Challenges in Modeling (GRAND)
This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners interested
in the future of model-driven engineering. A lot has been achieved, but big
challenges remain. The purpose of this workshop is to help identify these
challenges and a research roadmap for model-driven engineering over the next
years.
Projects Showcase
The Projects Showcase event at STAF 2017 provides an opportunity for researchers
and practitioners (from both academia and industry) involved in upcoming, ongoing
or completed research projects related to foundations and applications of software
technologies to share results, experiences, ideas, on-going work, and knowledge
that can lead to fruitful inter-project collaboration.
The Projects Showcase welcomes contributions disseminating the objectives and
results of national and international research projects, including outcomes of
specific deliverables, advances beyond the state of the art, overall innovation
potential, exploitation approach and (expected) impact, marketing value, barriers
and obstacles.
4th International Workshop on Model-driven Robot Software Engineering (MORSE)
Robots are an indispensable part of modern production facilities. In the future,
robots will also become more common in daily life. Currently, however, there is a
lack of standardization w. r. t. hardware/software platforms for robots, leading to
a vast landscape of isolated, incompatible, task-specific and, thus, non-reusable
solutions. Consequently, there is a need for new engineering methodologies for the
design, implementation and execution of software for robotic platforms. MORSE
provides a venue for discussing new ideas on the application of model-driven
engineering to robotics.
5th International Workshop on Scalable Model Driven Engineering (BigMDE)
As Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is increasingly applied to larger and more complex
systems, the current generation of modelling and model management technologies are
being pushed to their limits in terms of capacity and efficiency. As such, additional
research and development is imperative in order to enable MDE to remain relevant with
industrial practice and to continue delivering its widely-recognised productivity,
quality, and maintainability benefits. The aim of this workshop is to provide a
venue where developers and users of modelling and model management languages and
tools can present problems and solutions around the scalability of MDE.
6th International Workshop on Verification and Validation Of modeL Transformations (VOLT)
This workshop offers researchers a dedicated forum to classify, discuss,
propose, and advance verification and validation techniques dedicated to
model transformations. VOLT 2017 promotes discussions between theoreticians
and practitioners from academy and industry. A significant part of the workshop
includes a forum for discussing practical applications of model transformations
and related problems. One of the goals of the forum is to collect enough
industrial case studies so that those problems can be stated at a theoretical
level.
8th International Workshop on Graph Computation Models (GCM)
Graphs are common mathematical structures which are visual and intuitive. They
constitute a natural and seamless way for system modeling in science, engineering
and beyond, including computer science, life sciences, business processes, etc.
Graph computation models constitute a class of very high-level models where graphs
are first-class citizens. Their mathematical foundation, in addition to their visual
nature, facilitates specification, validation and analysis of complex systems. The
aim of GCM 2017 is to bring together researchers interested in all aspects of
computation models based on graphs and graph transformation techniques. The workshop
promotes the cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences among researchers
and students from the different communities interested in the foundations,
applications, and implementations of graph computation models and related areas.
17th International Workshop in OCL and Textual Modeling (OCL)
Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical notation. Such
visual representations enable direct intuitive capturing of reality, but they have
weaknesses: for example, detailed visual representations bear the risk of becoming
overcrowded faster than textual models and some of the visual features lack the
level of precision required to create complete and unambiguous specifications.
These weaknesses of graphical notations encouraged the development of text-based
modeling languages that either integrate with or replace graphical notations for
modeling. The goal of this workshop is to create a forum where researchers and
practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds of textual
languages can directly interact, report advances, share results, identify tools
for language development, and discuss appropriate standards.
10th Transformation Tool Contest (TTC)
Transformations of structured data such as relational data, abstract syntax trees
and high-level graph-based models are cross-disciplinary at the heart of a wide
range of applications. The success of transformation approaches heavily depends
on the availability of expressive and efficient tools. Currently, a large variety of
tools exist for different transformation approaches. However, for potential users,
working in application domains where transformation techniques may be useful, it is
difficult to select the right tool for their purpose. Moreover, even for most of the
tool experts it is true that they know about one or two tools but little about others.
Finally, the tool developers themselves can also be inspired by a more detailed
understanding of related approaches.
