[Anne Koziolek (IPD)]

CALL FOR PAPERS

ModComp'15 (at MoDELS): 2st International Workshop on Model-Driven
Engineering for Component-Based Software Systems


IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submission of papers: July 17, 2015
Notification for acceptance of papers: August 21, 2015
Online proceedings: September 19, 2015
Workshop dates: September 28, 2015

SCOPE
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) and Component-Based Software
Engineering (CBSE) have been shown to effectively reduce software
development complexity by (i) shifting the focus from source code to
models and (ii) building software systems as composition of new and
existing components, respectively. Moreover, the interplay of MDE and
CBSE approaches is gaining recognition as a very promising means to
boost the development of software systems by reducing costs and risks
and shorten time-to-market.
While several attempts to effectively combine MDE and CBSE have been
documented, there are still unsolved clashes arising when exploiting
interplay of MDE and CBSE, mostly due to mismatches in the related
terminology as well as to differences in their basic essence.
As satellite event of MODELS'15, the goal of ModComp’15 is to gather
researchers and practitioners to share opinions, propose solutions to
open challenges and generally explore the frontiers of interweaving
between MDE and CBSE.

TOPICS
Solicited topics include, but are not limited to:
•	Partial model reuse
•	Model composition

•	Model versioning

•	Modelling component interaction and component behaviours
•	Model extraction for componentization of legacy systems
•	Component interoperability
•	Management and elicitation of model interdependencies
•	Model (co)evolution

•	Model transformations for analysis and code generation in presence
of third-party components
•	Metamodel modularity
•	Composition of MDE artefacts
•	Enforcement of incrementality
•	Case studies & applications



SUBMISSION
ModComp'15 welcomes research papers, experience papers and tool
presentations; nevertheless, papers describing novel research
contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest.
Three types of submissions are solicited: Research Papers, Experience
Reports, and Position Papers.

•	Research papers: novel research contributions, challenging problems
tackled with innovative ideas, or practical contributions in the
interplay of MDE and CBSE. Long papers should clearly describe the
situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the
position or solution suggested and the potential benefits of the
contribution.
•	Experience reports: tool demonstrations, industrial experiences and
case-studies. Authors of papers reporting industrial experiences are
strongly encouraged to make their experimental results available for
use by reviewers. Similarly, case-study papers should describe
significant case-studies and the complete development should be made
available for use by reviewers. Tool demonstration papers should
explain enhancements made in comparison to previously published work.
Authors of tool demonstration papers should make their tool available
for use by reviewers.
•	Position papers: well-pondered and sufficiently documented visionary
papers, new ideas or early research results in one of the topics of
the workshop.

Contributions should represent original and previously unpublished
ideas that are currently not under review in any conference or journal.
Research and Experience Papers must not exceed 6 pages (including
figures, appendices AND references).
Position Papers must not exceed 2 pages (including figures, appendices
AND references).
Each submitted paper undergoes a formal peer review process by a
minimum of 3 Program Committee members. Submitted papers should
include authors' names, affiliations and contact information.

Contributions should be uploaded using EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=modcomp15

Papers must be in the IEEEtran format (link to templates available on
the workshop’s website). Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR
Workshop proceedings, which is indexed by DBLP.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend
the workshop.

Special issue in International Journal: We plan to organize a special
issue at the Journal of Object Technology (JOT) to which the best
papers from the workshop will be invited for being submitted in
extended form. The extended papers would undergo a new peer-reviewing
process.
