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.

Support:
--------
The workshop is supported by:
- the ERCIM Working Group on Software Evolution, which is a community of
researchers that aim to study formalisms, languages, tools and
techniques to support software engineers in the evolution of large and
complex software systems.
- RIMEL, the French working group on software evolution and maintenance.
