IEEE CSMR 07 - Workshop MoDSE
Workshop on Model-Driven Software Evolution
http://www.sciences.univ-nantes.fr/MoDSE2007/
Amsterdam, 20th march 2007

Presentation & objective:
==========================
MoDSE is a workshop that will be held in conjunction with CSMR 2007. The
main objective of this workshop is to explore how can model-driven
engineering (MDE) enforce and enhance software evolution. Software evolution
is an important and inevitable research area. It increases in complexity and
needs to be well driven. Since MDE leans on the systematic use of models as
artefacts all along the software lifecycle, it seems obvious to use it to
manage the evolution of any software.



The objective is to have the possibility to present current research works
and to exchange, discuss and debate about challenges, needs, proposed
approaches and innovative solutions around the Model-Driven Software
Evolution. It is important to bring together the two communities (MDE and
Software Evolution) in order to discuss whether and how research and
experience can be exchanged between them.


Call for papers:
================
Papers from academia and industry are solicited about important problems,
techniques and results related to research and practice within the domain of
model-driven software evolution. The main topics of this workshop are, but
not limited to:

- Specification of models, metamodels and languages for specifying software
evolution: definition and features.
- Transformation of models for software evolution: restructuring and
refactoring, migration, translation…
- Dynamic and static evolutions.
- Evolution and co-evolution of models.
- Verification, validation and testing of evolving models
- Transformation of models for aims of evolution
- Used paradigms (objects, components, aspects, formal languages …)
- Consistency maintenance, inconsistency management, compliance checking,
synchronization, verification, validation and testing of evolving models
- Managerial aspects and process models for software evolution
- Teaching model-driven software evolution
- Industrial needs and experiences.

The workshop will be held on the day before the conference that is the 20th
of March. The papers should be from 8 to 10 pages double column IEEE format.
They will be printed in a small proceedings band with cover.


The papers should be from 8 to 10 pages (4 pages for tool demonstrations)
double column IEEE format. They will be printed in a small proceedings band
with cover.
