Subject: [SEWORLD] MODELS 2012: Call for Papers
MODELS 2012
ACM/IEEE 15th International Conference
on Model-Driven Engineering Language & Systems
Call for Papers
Sept. 30th - Oct. 5th, 2012 - Innsbruck/AUSTRIA
http://www.modelsconference.org
Deadline 19 March 2012
----------------------------------------------
Over the years, model-based development has been successfully adopted
across a wide range of domains such as industrial automation, business
engineering, hardware/software co-design, real-time system development,
Web 2.0 application design, and so forth. However, there are still
numerous problems to be addressed that require collaborative research
across multiple disciplines. The primary objective of the Foundations
Track of MODELS 2012 is to provide a forum for the exchange and
discussion of new ideas, results and insights that can advance the
state-of-the-art in model-driven engineering.
We invite authors to submit original papers in the following categories.
Foundations Track Papers
------------------------
1. Technical Papers describing original scientifically rigorous
solutions to significant model-driven development problems. A technical
paper should clearly describe the problem addressed, the relevant state
of the art, the scientifically-founded solution, and the benefits of the
contribution. Appropriate examples, synthetic or otherwise, should be
used to explain all aspects of the proposed contribution
2. Empirical Evaluation Papers evaluating existing problem cases or
scientifically validating proposed solutions through, for example,
empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal
analyses, and mathematical proofs. The topic of the evaluation presented
in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly
stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate.
3. Exploratory papers describe new, non-conventional model-driven
development research positions or approaches. These papers should
challenge the status-quo and describe solutions that are based on new
ways of looking at model-driven development problems and solutions. They
must clearly describe the inadequacies in the current state-of-the-art
and rigorously present their approach, clearly demonstrating its
pertinence and correctness.
Application Track Papers
------------------------
1. Application Track papers provide a realistic and verifiable picture
of the current state-of-the-practice in model-based engineering and
explore the problems encountered by the industrial adoption of model
driven techniques. The Applications Track seeks articles that describe
and analyze the application of model driven techniques to industrial
case studies, especially those that describe innovative solutions and
concepts arising from practical deployment of tools and techniques.
