Dear friends,
I am looking for a french student (or someone speaking french) who wants to
engage in a CIFRE PhD thesis (it is a thesis with a french company).
The subject is attached to the mail.

International Workshop on "Models and Evolution"
Co-located with ACM/IEEE 19th International Conference on
Model Driven Engineering Languages & Systems (MODELS 2016)
Saint-Malo, France, October 2-7, 2016
http://www.models-and-evolution.com/
Important Dates:
Submissions of papers: July 17, 2016
Notification: August 14, 2016
---------------------------------
The Models and Evolution (ME) 2016 workshop is a satellite event at
ACM/IEEE MoDELS 2016 and the continuance of the following events: ME
2014, ME 2013, ME 2012, ME 2011, ME 2010, MoDSE-MCCM 2009, MCCM 2008
(all at MoDELS), MoDSE 2008, MoDSE 2007 (both at CSMR).
This workshop addresses the evolution of artefacts of the modelling
process, as inspired by analogous evolution required by software
artefacts, with input from academic as well as industrial practice. As
Model-Based Development grows in popularity, the models used throughout
a system’s lifecycle are now core artefacts of modern software
engineering processes.
With the increasing use of Model-Based Development in many domains
(e.g., Automotive Software Engineering, Business Process Engineering),
models are starting to become core artefacts of modern software
engineering processes. By raising the level of abstraction and using
concepts closer to the problem and application domain rather than the
solution and technical domain, models become core assets and reusable
intellectual property, being worth the effort of maintaining and
evolving them. Therefore, increasingly models experience the same issues
as traditional software artefacts, i.e., being subject to many kinds of
changes, which range from rapidly evolving platforms to the evolution of
the functionality provided by the applications developed. These
modifications include changes at all levels, from requirements through
architecture and design, to executable models, documentation and test
suites. They typically affect various kinds of models including data
models, behavioural models, domain models, source code models, goal
models, etc. Coping with and managing the changes that accompany the
evolution of software assets is therefore an essential aspect of
Software Engineering as a discipline.
Important dates:
- Submission deadline: July 17, 2016
- Notification to authors: August 14, 2016
- Workshop date: one full-day between October 2-4, 2016.
Scope:
ME 2016 will bring together researchers and practitioners to share
experiences in dealing with the various forms of evolution in modelling.
ME 2016 combines a strong practical focus with theoretical approaches
required in any discipline that supports engineering practices. In
particular, ME 2016 targets researchers and practitioners on
model-driven engineering to meet, disseminate and exchange ideas,
identify the key issues related to the problem of model (co-)evolution
and consistency management, and explore possible solutions and future
work. We target, in particular, the cross-fertilisation of both the MDE
and software evolution communities. Therefore we consider models in a
very broad sense which is essential to allow researchers from different
communities to identify and discuss commonalities/differences among
their specific (co-)evolution and consistency management problems. ME
2016 will be held in Saint-Malo (France) and will host invited talks,
technical sessions, and panels. Especially, ME 2016 will foster the
interactions between the participants, stimulating lively debates and
discussions around the topics of interest of the workshop.
Topics:
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.

international projects. In addition, industrial papers reporting about
experiences in the area of models and evolution, 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. Contributions must be written in
English, adhere to the ACM SIGS format, and be submitted through
EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=me2016). Expected
papers can be short papers (6 pages) or long papers (10 pages):
Long papers (max. 10 pages): These contributions should address novel
research ideas, challenging problems, or practical contributions in the
domain of model-driven software evolution.
Short papers (max. 6 pages):
Position papers: young researchers may submit extended abstracts about
their work in progress.
Visionary papers: these contributions take a visionary stance to the
field describing long term ambitions, visionary technological
advancements, paradigmatic changes and research agendas. Note that the
ideas presented must be clearly positioned, adequately thought through,
and sufficiently documented.
Tool presentations: these submissions present (experience with) tools
(which may be either research prototypes or commercial tools) that are
fully/partially dedicated to supporting the evolution issues encountered
in model-based development.
The submission process will consist of two phases: abstract submissions
and full paper submissions.
Workshop papers will be published on CEUR (see
http://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html#PRECONDS for preconditions for
publishing).

Dear all,
The old SATTOSE mailing list sattose(a)listes.uclouvain.be<mailto:sattose@listes.uclouvain.be> is now officially inactive and down, so please remove it from your address book and use the new one sattose(a)list.inf.unibe.ch<mailto:sattose@list.info.unibe.ch> from now on instead. The mailing list will be moderated -- we don’t want it to become a SPAM list -- and by default reserved for SATTOSE related messages, although the moderators (Oscar and me) could accept occasional messages to the members about SATTOSE related events.
