Future Trends of Model-Driven Development (FTMDD-10)
8 - 12 June 2010
in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on
Enterprise Information Systems (http://www.iceis.org/)
Funchal, Madeira - Portugal
Background and Goals
------------ --------- ---------
The Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is an approach to the development of IT systems fostered by the Object Management Group (OMG) that separates the specification of the system functionality from its implementation on a particular platform. A common pattern of MDA development is to define a platform-independen t model (PIM) of a
system, and to apply (parameterised) transformations to this PIM to obtain one or more platform-specific models (PSMs). In this context, PIMs are reusable models that consolidate the application development effort. Furthermore, MDA advocates the use of OMG core technology, especially the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and MOF-compliant languages such as UML and CWM. In Model-Driven Development the MDA principles and technologies are applied in the development of software systems.
MDD is already around for some years and is about to become commodity in software development due to its benefits (reduction on development costs, improvement of software quality, reduction of maintenance costs and the support for controlled evolution of IT systems). MDD has also been applied in many application areas, such as real-time and embedded systems, and telecommunication systems, and, more recently, to the development and integration of enterprise information systems.
However, the MDD research community is wishing to explore the bounds of MDD, by investigating new applications areas and combinations with other emerging technologies, like, for example, pervasive context- aware systems, Semantic web, Semantic web services, SOA and ontologies. This workshop aims at fostering the further development and application of MDD techniques.This is the second edition of this workshop, in which we want to build upon the very successful first edition last year in Milan.
Keynote Speaker
------------ --------- -------
A keynote speaker will be invited to address the workshop on future trends on the theory, practise and applications of MDD techniques.
Paper submission:
------------ --------- -------
The workshop welcomes three types of submissions:
1- Full papers describing novel ideas on MDD at either a practical or theoretical level. The length of a full paper should not exceed 12 pages (7000 words).
2- Short or position papers describing work in progress or an author�s position regarding the current MDD practice and/or its future trends. The maximum length of a position paper is 5 pages.
3- Demonstrations of a particular prototype approach or tool applicable to MDD. The demonstration should be accompanied by a paper with a maximum length of 4 pages. The demonstration will be shown during the workshop.
Instructions for preparing the manuscript are available at the ICEIS web site. Papers should be submitted online through the online submission system.
Remarks about the on-line submission procedure:
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------
1. A "double-blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper, WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors. This means that is necessary to remove the authors personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that may disclose the
authors identity.
2. The web submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author.
All papers will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, clarity and technical quality. At least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. All accepted papers will be published in workshop proceedings book with an ISBN#, which will be printed by INSTICC Press. The proceedings will be available at the time of the workshop
Important dates:
