CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - ECMDA-FA'05

European Conference on Model Driven ArchitectureR -
Foundations and Applications

November 7-10, 2005, Nuernberg, Germany

http://www.ecmda-fa.org
___________________________________________________________________

Model-Driven ArchitectureR (MDAR) is an initiative proposed by the Object
Management Group (OMG, http://www.omg.org) for platform-generic software
development. It promotes the use of models in the specification, design,
analysis, synthesis, deployment, and evolution of complex software systems.

ECMDA-FA will take place from November 7-10th in Nuernberg, Germany. This
conference is dedicated to furthering the state of knowledge and fostering
the industrialization of the MDA methodology. Its focus is on engaging the
key European research and industrial figures 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 conference is organized in two tracks dealing with the foundations and
applications of MDA. There will be additional workshops, tutorials, and
tools exhibitions on these subjects.

The programme for the first two days of workshops and tutorials is as
follows:
