======================= MDA & MTDD 2010===============================================
2nd International Workshop on Model-Driven Architecture and Modeling Theory-Driven Development - MDA & MTDD 2010
======================================================================================

In conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering - ENASE 2010 http://www.enase.org/Workshops.htm

One day within conference dates of 22-24 July 2010 - Athens, Greece

http://www.enase.org/MDA_MTDD.htm

Background and Goals
===============
The 2nd Workshop Model-Driven Architecture and Modeling Theory-Driven Development – MDA & MTDD. The workshop is aimed at theoretical and practical aspects of OMG’s Model Driven Architecture, the Modeling Theory-Driven Development, and Model-Driven Engineering as well. The first Workshop “Model – Driven Architecture: Foundations, Practices and Implications (MDA2009)” was organized in conjunction with the 13th Conference on Advances in Data Base and Information Systems (ADBIS 2009).

Workshop Format
==============
The workshop is planned as a one day event. We plan a keynote speech by Janis Osis - “Is Modeling a Treatment for the Weakness of Software Engineering?” - 50 min. with 10 min. discussion and 3 sessions, 90 min. each, with paper presentations 15 + 5 min. At the end of each session is planed a 10 min. discussion.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
===============================
Reasoning about models
Computation Independent Model - knowledge model (pre-CIM)
Computation Independent Model – business model
Computation Independent Model – business requirements for the system
Formalization of deriving use-cases from the CIM-business model
Modeling theory-driven development of software
Reconciling software requirements and architectures within MDA
Modeling formalization of MDA’s software development
Model transformation and code generation
Modeling of requirements, architectures, platforms
Model based techniques to guarantee the quality and efficiency of software development
Domain modeling approaches in information systems engineering
Model-Driven domain modeling, analysis and software development
Concurrent model-driven automation engineering
Domain-Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs)
Models for software product lines
Models for web service design
MDA-based distributed real-time and embedded systems
Recovering reliable safety properties from system models
Modeling for testing and validation
Innovations and improvements of MDA
