CALL FOR PAPERS: 12th Intl Workshop on Models and Evolution (ME 2018)
Co-located with the ACM/IEEE 21st International Conference on Model Driven
Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2018)
October 14-19, 2018 — Copenhagen, Denmark
http://www.models-and-evolution.com
===============================================================
Software artefacts constantly increase in complexity, variety and novelty.
Environment and business constraints, user requirements and new insights put
additional pressure on their adaptability, availability, reliability and
quality: they continuously need to be up to date. But evolution issues are
critical, complex and costly to manage. They concern requirements,
architecture, design, source code, documentation, integration or deployment.
They also typically affect various kinds of models (data, behavioral,
domain,
source code or goal models). Addressing and managing these varieties of
changes is essential. Models and meta-models, the cornerstone of complex
software systems’ abstractions, represent a powerful mean for facing
software
evolution challenges by ensuring a more abstract and expressive modeling of
software evolution. They can help and guide software evolution and can
enforce
and reduce critical risks and important involved resources. The workshop
puts
the focus on Models and Evolution by considering two main sides: (1)
Managing
software evolution needs by relying on the high- level abstraction power of
models and meta-models; (2) Managing model and metamodel evolution needs and
the co-evolution of all related software artefacts by putting attention to
their increasing evolution issues as they become primary artefacts.
ME 2018 will bring together researchers and practitioners to share
experiences
in dealing with the various forms of models and evolution. It combines a
strong practical focus with theoretical approaches as required in any
discipline to support engineering practices. ME 2018 targets researchers and
practitioners on model-driven engineering to meet, disseminate and exchange
ideas, identify the key issues related to the problem of models and
evolution
and explore possible solutions and future work.
** TOPIC
Contributions are solicited on all aspects of models and evolution, its
foundations, practices and technologies. In particular, we encourage
submissions from both academia and industry about the following (non-
exhaustive) list of topics:
– Formalisms, theories, formal approaches, methods and languages for
expressing and understanding model-driven software evolution
– Supporting processes and tools for managing model-driven software
evolution
– (Co-)evolution and (co-)adaptation of models, meta-models and modeling
(languages; classification of (co-)evolution scenarios
– Conformance checking, inconsistency management, synchronization,
differencing, comparison, impact analysis of evolving models
– Transformation techniques for evolving models: restructuring, refactoring,
migration, translation, composition, versioning, etc.
– Maintenance and evolution of domain-specific languages Maintenance and
evolution of model transformations
–Traceability maintenance, verification, and validation of evolving models,
evolving model transformations, and evolving modeling languages; runtime
models
– Analysis of model maintainability
– Variability management using models
– Model-driven software architecture recovery, reverse architecting,
reconstruction, migration and software release engineering
– Model-based and model-related techniques for legacy systems evolution and
systems integration
– Reusable evolution solutions and patterns
– Evolution issues in new and emerging systems and paradigms (e.g., cyber-
physical systems, systems of systems, systems engineering, Internet of
Things,
cloud computing, etc)
– Training, education, and certification around software evolution
– State-of-the-art and state-of-practice in software evolution Empirical
studies, industrial needs, experience reports and experiments in software
evolution
– Tools and methods supporting all of the above topics
** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We solicit papers of the following types:
1. Research papers (max. 10 pages) providing novel contributions on
topics of
the workshop presenting novel ideas, addressing challenging problems, or
making practical contributions.
2. Position papers (max. 6 pages):
a. Work in progress papers presenting early work and preliminary
research
results of young researchers in topics related to the workshop.
b. Visionary papers proposing visionary and strategic ideas and/or
looking
for collaborations around international projects.
c. Industrial experience papers reporting about experiences in the
area of
models and evolution, novel industrial tools, and positions from
industry
about experience and/or case studies about managing or putting into
practice model-driven software evolution solutions are highly
appreciated.
3. Tool presentations (max. 6 pages) presenting (experience with) tools
(which
may be either research prototypes or commercial tools) that are
fully/partially dedicated to supporting the model-based software
evolution and
evolution issues encountered in model-based development.
Contributions must be written in English, adhere to the ACM SIGS format, and
be submitted through EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=me2018
All submissions must be original work and must not have been previously
published or being under review elsewhere. For each accepted paper, at least
one of the authors must register for the workshop, participate fully in the
workshop, and present the paper at the workshop. Accepted workshop
papers will
be published on CEUR-WS.

Dear All,
Many of you probably just came back from ICSE last week. Now, it is time to
plan for SATToSE. Kindly register for the event if you have not yet and
bring your colleagues/students with you :)
Best regards. See you in Athens next month.
