In conjunction with ECMFA 2010 (European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications).

Paris, France, June 15-186th.

Workshop Description

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is on the advance. The reason for this advance is the promise of handling the increase of complexity within the software and its development process by raising the level of abstraction using models as information storage. In the past years tool vendors adapted the approach of using models as information storage of their applications utilizing the advantages of these technologies (e.g. model querying, model consistency, implicit interface, notification mechanisms). Other vendors now provide the possibility to import and export models. But still, out of different reasons some tool vendors do not respond to this trend. In this case 3rd party vendors provide adapters. All that shows, that MDE has made good progress, with regard to the information representation. Now that tool internal information becomes available as models, the problem of integration and distribution still exists, and is one of the next barriers to tackle on the way to an efficient and productive MDE environment.

The workshop in general addresses the area of application lifecycle management. Its main concern is the integration of tools and efficient distribution of information in development environments underlying with and underlying process based on MDE techniques such as model transformation. The aim of the workshop is to join researchers and practitioners in the field of development tool and process integration.

Topics included, but are not limited

• Tool integration frameworks (e.g. Repositories, Interfaces, Adapters, Transport layer)
• Distributed tool chains
• Management of tool chains
• Granularity of access
• Security and Access Control of models and tools
• Adaptation between meta modelling frameworks (e.g. MOF 1.4 , CMOF, EMF, EMOF)
• Model and model element identification
• Model Driven Enterprise Service Bus
• Model Driven process integration
• Model Based System Management
• Distributed Modelling technologies (e.g. model querying)
• Problem scenarios, User requirements, Practice reports & Success stories

This year’s edition of the workshop encourages in particular the submission of papers addressing the domain of embedded systems engineering as a key domain in European industry. However, the scope of the workshop is not limited to this domain and all submission will be evaluated based on their general contribution to theory and practice of tool and process integration. The workshop is open to anybody interested in increasing the efficiency in modeldriven software engineering. Based on the experiences gained from earlier version of the workshop (see below) a high number of participants especially from industry is expected.
