---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Model-Driven Engineering, the functionality of complex systems lies

beyond the representative capabilities of a single model. Therefore,

an increasing variety of heterogeneous models and languages are used

in the various phases of software development. Information about a

system is consequently spread across these various models with

possible overlaps, redundancies, and inconsistencies. To cope with

this complexity, which normally exceeds the cognitive capacity of a

single individual, various approaches have been developed to

re-organize information during systems development.

Different approaches that allow system modelling from various

perspectives or according to separate concerns focus on such diverse

issues that it is difficult to compare and evaluate them. Some of them

present solutions for a specific set of modelling languages or views,

but make it hard to assess the applicability in other scenarios.

Others provide means to define new views on models, but do not

consider how redundancy-free models can be established.

Goal

----

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and

practitioners with an interest in model-driven software development to

foster a fruitful cross-pollination of ideas between different

communities dealing with the separation and integration of views or

concerns in system modelling. The workshop will prepare the

development of a case-study designed to facilitate the comparison and

evaluation of multi-view modelling approaches and to simplify the

identification of problems that require further research. In break-out

sessions requirements for a common, multi-view modelling case-study

will be elicited, possible comparison criteria will be collected, and

ideas for case-study scenarios will be discussed.

In order to provide a foundation for these discussions, we encourage

submissions on new concepts, implementations or formalism as well as

submissions on controversial positions, requirements for a common

case-study or case-study scenarios. Submissions should contribute to

investigating and discussing the benefits and drawbacks of different

multi-view modelling approaches or identifying best practices.

Topics

------

The workshop is interested in submissions that prepare a common,

multi-view modelling case study and in submissions on all topics

related to model-driven development that deal with the separation and

integration of different perspectives, languages, abstractions, views

or concerns. More specifically, this includes:

- bridging the gap between different views or metamodels,

- generating, defining and evolving different views, models and

   metamodels,

- round-trip engineering and co-evolution of different models,

- composition of different views, models and metamodels,

- (bidirectional) transformations of metamodels,

- avoiding inconsistencies, overlap and redundancies between modelling

   artefacts,

- generating models and metamodels for multiple views or formalisms,

- separating and re-integrating cross-cutting concerns or model

   weaving,

- dynamic information hiding for partial views

Contributions

-------------

Submissions to the workshop are possible in three categories.

Research papers should describe original work on a problem or solution

that pertains to the systematic separation or integration of models,

concerns, views, or other modelling artefacts on six to eight pages.

Position papers should present a well-defined position on how various

modelling languages, viewpoints, heterogeneous subsystems, or concerns

should be handled in MDE on two to four pages.

Case-study papers should discuss requirements, criteria, or scenarios

for a common multi-view modelling case-study for comparing and

evaluating different approaches on two to four pages.

All paper submissions have to adhere to the ACM SIG Proceedings Style

(alternate format).
