MoDELS 2007 Call for PapersACM/IEEE 10th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and Systems September 30 - October 5, 2007 Nashville (TN), USA The past decade has witnessed an explosion of interest in advanced techniques for expressing design intent at a higher level of abstraction than third-generation programming languages and keeping abstract models of complex software systems in sync with the underlying code. Domain-specific modeling languages, model-driven engineering, model transformations, and standardization of modeling languages are among the more significant emerging trends. MoDELS 2007 (formerly the UML series of conferences) is the premier conference that brings together practitioners and researchers to present and discuss both practical experience and innovative techniques in model-driven approaches to software development. MoDELS 2007 will include both scientific and experience conference papers, workshops, tutorials, a doctoral symposium, panels, and poster sessions. See the conference website for further details.
Scientific papers: We invite scientific research papers describing innovative research on model-driven engineering and other aspects of modeling in the development process. These aspects include well-designed empirical studies and innovative automation solutions and tool architectures. Experience papers: We invite experience papers that focus on reporting project experience with model-driven engineering. These papers should describe the project context, detail practical lessons learned, and provide insight about how model-driven approaches and technologies can be improved for application in an industrial context. The conference will include papers and presentations on many of the following topics:
Experience and Scientific Papers
Panels will be organized to bring together industrial practitioners and academics to discuss on particular topics, related to MoDELS. Submitters will be asked for a description of the topic and of the expected questions to be debated, as well as the list of expected panelists.
Submit your manuscript electronically in Postscript or PDF using the Springer LNCS style at the Submission web site. Papers must be no longer than 15 pages in length (including references, appendices etc.). Papers will undergo a thorough process of review by a program committee comprising leading experts from academia and industry; however, papers that are too long may be rejected without review. Scientific proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors of best papers from the conference will be invited to revise and submit extended versions of their papers for publication consideration in a special issue of Software and Systems Modeling (Springer). Proposals for advanced workshops, tutorials and posters are requested. See the conference website for details. |
