                                     ECMDA-FA 2009

Fifth European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture Foundations and
Applications

                     University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands

                                    23-26 June 2009

                              http://ecmda2009.utwente.nl

Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is an initiative proposed by the Object
Management
Group (OMG) for platform-independent software development. It promotes the
use of
models in the specification, design, analysis, synthesis, deployment, and
evolution of
complex software systems.

ECMDA-FA is dedicated to advancing the state of knowledge and fostering the
industrialisation of the MDA methodology. Its focus is on engaging key
figures of
research and industry, in Europe and elsewhere, in a dialogue which will
result in a
stronger, more efficient industry, producing more reliable software on the
basis of
state-of-the-art research results. The 2009 conference will be again
organised in two
tracks dealing with the foundations and applications of MDA. There will be
additional
workshops, tools and poster exhibitions on these subjects.

ECMDA-FA 2009 is proud to host the following keynote speakers:

– David Harel, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel
– Tim Trew, NXP Semiconductors, The Netherlands
– Akira Ohata, Toyota Motors, Japan


Topics

ECMDA has two separate paper tracks, one for research papers (Track F) and
one for
industrial papers (Track A). Each track will be judged differently. The
academic
track will be reviewed using common academic review guidelines, focusing on
novel
contributions to knowledge. Papers in the industrial track may be shorter
and will
be judged against special guidelines, as described below.

Research Papers on Foundations of MDA (Academic Track F)

In this track, we are soliciting papers presenting original research on all
aspects
of MDA. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest are:

- Metamodeling – foundations and tools
– Model Transformation and Code Generation
– Reasoning about Models
– Model Navigation
- Model Synchronization and Consistency
– Modeling of Requirements, Architectures, Platforms
– Reverse Engineering
- Modeling for Testing and Validation
– Model Execution and Simulation
– Modeling of Service Qualities and of Safety and Security
– Aspect Modeling
– Software Process Modeling, Enactment and Execution

The research papers should be between 12 and 16 pages long, in A4 size
compliant with
the LNCS paper style and should be submitted as PDF. They will be evaluated
on novelty
and theoretical contribution. No simultaneous submission to other
publication outlets
(either a conference or a journal) is allowed; any concurrent submission
will result
in the immediate rejection of the paper. The proceedings are planned to be
published
in a Springer LNCS volume.

Industrial Papers on Applications of MDA (Industrial Track A)

In this track, we are soliciting papers representing the views and
experience of
industrial players in MDA and of MDA users. In particular, we are looking
for papers that
set requirements on the foundations, methods and tools for MDA. We are also
seeking
experience reports or case studies on the application, successes or current
shortcomings
of MDA. Quantitative results are appreciated. Industrial papers on all
application
areas of MDA are welcomed and may focus, for example, on one of the
following:

– MDA for Complex Systems and Systems of Systems
- MDA for Embedded Systems and Real-Time Systems
– MDA for High-Integrity Systems, Safety-Critical, and Security-Critical
Systems
– MDA in the Automotive, Aerospace, Telecommunications, Electronics
Industries
– Comparative Studies of MDA Methods and Tools
– MDA Technology Adoption, Development and Roll-Out Processes
– Metrics for MDA Development
– MDA Training
– MDA for Legacy Systems
- MDA for Systems Engineering
– Model Verification and Quality-Driven System Development
– MDA and Multi-Domain Modeling Languages
– MDA and Component-Based Software Engineering
– MDA and Service-Oriented Architectures
– MDA and Business Process Modeling

The length of an industrial paper should be between 6 and 12 pages.
Industrial papers
will be evaluated on practical feasibility, maturity, and industrial
relevance.
No simultaneous submission to other publication outlets (conference or
journal) is
allowed. The proceedings are planned to be published in the same Springer
LNCS volume
as the proceedings of the Foundations track.

Submission and selection

You are asked to submit your contribution through the web site; see
