2nd Workshop on Model Driven Approaches in System Development (MDASD 2012)

**********************************************************************************************

2nd Workshop on Model Driven Approaches in System Development (MDASD 2012)
http://www.fedcsis.org/mdasd

Organized within the framework of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and
Information Systems (FedCSIS 2012)

Wroclaw, Poland, 9-12 September, 2012

SCOPE & TOPICS

For many years, various approaches in system design and implementation differentiate between the specification
of the system and its implementation on a particular platform. People in software industry have been using models
for a precise description of systems at the appropriate abstraction level without unnecessary details.
Model-Driven (MD) approaches to the system development increase the importance and power of models by shifting
the focus from programming to modeling activities. Models may be used as primary artifacts in constructing
software, which means that software components are generated from models. Software development tools need to
automate as many as possible tasks of model construction and transformation requiring the smallest amount
of human interaction.

A goal of the proposed workshop is to bring together people working on MD languages, techniques and tools,
as well as Domain Specific Languages (DSL) and applying them in information system and application development,
databases, and related areas, so that they can exchange their experience, create new ideas, evaluate and improve
MD approaches and spread its use. The intention is to target an interdisciplinary nature of MD approaches in
software engineering, as well as research topics expressed by but not limited to acronyms such as Model Driven
Software Engineering (MDSE), Model Driven Software Development (MDSD),  Domain Specific Modeling (DSM), and OMG's Model Driven Architecture (MDA).

Submissions are expected from, but not limited to the following topics:

* MD Approaches in System Design and Implementation – Problems and Issues
* MD Approaches in Software Process Models
* MD Approaches in Databases and Information Systems
* MD Approaches in Software Quality and Standards
* Metamodeling, Modeling and Specification Languages
* Model Transformation Languages
* Model-to-Model and Model-to-Code Transformations in Software Process
* Transformation Techniques and Tools
* Domain Specific Languages (DSL) and Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) in System Development
* Design of Metamodeling and Modeling Languages and Tools
* MD Approaches in Requirements Engineering and Business Process Modeling
* MD Approaches in System Reengineering and Reverse Engineering
* MD Approaches in HCI development
* MD Approaches in GIS development
* Model Based Software Verification
* Theoretical and Mathematical Foundations of MD Approaches
* Organizational and Human Factors, Skills, and Qualifications for MD Approaches
* Teaching MD Approaches in Academic and Industrial Environments
* MD Applications and Industry Experience

PAPER SUBMISSION

* Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the workshop.
* Accepted and Presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the
  IEEE Xplore® database. They will be also submitted for indexation in: DBLP Computer Science Bibliography,
  Google Scholar, Inspec, Scirus, SciVerse Scopus and Thomson Reuters - Conference Proceedings Citation Index.
* Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file).
* The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE style). IEEE style templates are available here.
* Extended versions of selected papers presented during the conference will be published in the ComSIS journal
  (ISI Impact factor 0.324), as well as Special Issue(s) of journal(s) to be announced later.
* Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between FedCSIS events.
