                                Third Workshop on 

-- Models and Aspects - Handling Crosscutting Concerns in MDSD --

                                        at the

    21st European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming,
           July 30 - August 03 2007, Berlin, Germany

Abstract

Both, Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) and Aspect-Oriented
Software Development (AOSD) 
are considered important new paradigms in modern software engineering.
While the two approaches are 
different in many ways -  MDSD adds domain-specific abstractions, while
AOSD is currently primarily 
seen as an implementation technique - they also have many things in
common - for example they both 
have a query phase followed by a construction phase. But more
importantly, we think that it is useful 
to use both techniques in combination. Two examples for combining MDSD
with AOSD could be 
aspect-oriented modeling combined with code generation, or the
generation of pointcuts for AO languages 
from a domain model.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

 - modeling crosscutting concerns
 - modeling architectural viewpoints
 - aspect models
 - model transformation 
 - aspect weaving in models
 - transformation and composition models 


Goal

This workshop aims at exploring new approaches of using Model-Driven and
Aspect-Oriented Software Development 
together. We will invite researchers and practitioners to present their
approaches and discuss the relevance 
for practical software development.


Workshop preparation

Every interested person is invited to apply for attendance by sending a
position paper of approximately 1-2 
pages or a full paper of not more than 6 pages to the organizers.
Submissions will be reviewed by the 
organizers. The authors will be notified about acceptance before the
early registration deadline.


Planned workshop activities

The workshop is laid out as full day workshop. 
Instead of presenting the papers, each participant will be expected to
review everyone else's paper before 
the workshop and complete the following two sentences for each:
 - What I really liked about this paper is ...
 - The most important question I would like to ask the author is ...

These answers are written down on index cards and will be collected
before the workshop. During the workshop, 
we will spend the morning with questions and answers to gain deeper
insight into the problem described in the 
paper. Before each paper session, the author will be permitted a 5
minute slot to briefly present his paper/work. The workshop format in
the afternoon will utilize the "Open Space" format in order to discuss
topics of interest that are directly, or indirectly related to the
papers presented in the morning.


Important Dates

Position Papers Due:			May 13th 2007
Notification of Acceptance:		June 15th 2007
Workshop:                             	            July 30th 2007


Submissions

Attendance to the workshop is limited to facilitate lively discussions
and the exchange of ideas. Interested 
parties are invited to submit a position paper (max. 2 pages) or a full
paper (max. 6 pages) in PDF, ASCII, 
HTML or MS Word format by email to, Iris.Groher at students.jku.at.
