7th IEEE Workshop on Model-Based Development for ComputerBased Systems
- Linking Views and Levels of Abstractions
within the 16th Annual IEEE International
Conference and Workshop on the Engineering of Computer Based Systems (ECBS)
Call for Papers
Successful application of model based development in domains like business
information systems or embedded systems has demonstrated its practical
relevance. However, with the shift to complex models with a long-term evolution,
issues related to the reuse of models gain importance for practical application
of model based development, including partitioning and maintaining models
and managing their change. Adequate modelling techniques must
-
support a modularization of models into different views and levels of abstractions,
-
ease localized changes without disturbing the integrity of the mode,
-
enable analysing the impact of changes on the model as a whole,
-
facilitate versioning (parts of) models maintaining the overall consistency,
-
ensure aspects like understandability and maintainability and
-
integrate profiles supporting specific application domains (e.g., automation,
business processes, web services),
to provide a practical application of model based development.
This workshop focuses on the scientific and practical aspects of model
based development (models, processes, methods, and tools) for supporting
the construction of computer based systems, with a focus on evolution and
management of model. Topics of the workshop include:
-
Model evolution and maintenance
-
Model versioning and product lines of models
-
Model transformation and reengineering
-
Model-based validation and verification
-
Models in the system engineering process
-
Model partitioning in relation to system architecture and project structure
-
Quality assurance for models
-
Integration of different models
-
Tool support for model-based development
-
Case studies and application of model-based development
-
Experiences of using models and relating models with their applications
in the real-world development process.
Format:
To enable a maximum of interaction and discussion between the participants,
the workshop will be held as a combination of two parts. First, the full
papers are presented including a short discussion after each presentation.
In the second part, short position statements are given, as introduction
to a panel discussion by the speakers, to initiate a workshop discussion
with all attendees.
Submission:
To support the workshop character, three classes of contributions are sought:
-
Full papers as regular technical contributions (6 to max 10 pages, IEEE
Computer Society Format) to be reviewed in a peer reviewing process
by at least three reviewers and published in the IEEE CS conference proceedings
upon acceptance.
-
Industrial research and experience reports (4 to max 10 pages, IEEE
Computer Society Format) to be reviewed in a peer reviewing process
by at least three reviewers and published in the IEEE CS conference proceedings
upon acceptance.
-
Position papers as short problem statements, research questions, or experience
reports may be 2 to 10 pages in the same format. They will be accepted
if they contribute to the goals of the workshop, especially if they inspire
the workshop discussions. They will be published online using a permalink
reachable from the MBD workshop website.
The papers are to be submitted as PDF via the EasyChair system which is
used for managing the reviewing process: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecbsmbd2009.
If not yet done, you have to create an accout there. In the case of
problems please do not hesitate to contact Matthias
Riebisch directly.
