7th Workshop on Model Driven Approaches in System Development (MDASD 2022)
https://fedcsis.org/2022/mdasd

Organized within the framework of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and
Information Systems (FedCSIS 2022)

Sofia, Bulgaria, 4-7 September, 2022

SCOPE & TOPICS

For many years, various approaches in system design and implementation differentiate between the specifica¬tion 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 appro¬priate abstraction level without unnecessary details. Model-Driven (MD) approaches to the system develop¬ment increase the importance and power of models by shifting the focus from programming to modeling activi¬ties. Models may be used as primary artifacts in con¬structing software, which means that software compo¬nents are generated from models. Software develop¬ment 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 approaches, techniques and tools, as well as Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) and Domain Specific Languages (DSL) and applying them in the requirements engineering, infor¬mation system and application devel¬op-ment, databases, and related areas, so that they can exchan¬ge their experi¬ence, create new ideas, evaluate and improve MD approac¬hes 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 Develop¬ment (MDD), Domain Specific Modeling (DSM), and OMG's Model Driven Architecture (MDA).

1st Workshop on MDASD was organized in the scope of ADBIS 2010 Conference, held in Novi Sad, Serbia. From 2012, MDASD becomes a regular bi-annual FedCSIS event.

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, Software Quality and Standards
* MD Approaches in Databases, Information Systems, Embedded and Real-Time Systems
* Metamodeling, Modeling and Specification Languages, Model Transformation Languages

* Transformation Techniques and Tools
* Domain Specific Languages (DSL) and Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) in System Specification and Development
* Design of Metamodeling and Modeling Languages and Tools
* MD Approaches in Requirements Engineering, Document Engineering and Business Process Modeling
* MD Approaches in System Reengineering and Reverse Engineering
* MD Approaches in HCI and UX Design, GIS Development, and Cyber-Physical Systems
* Low-Code and No-Code software development – research, experiences and challenges
* Model Based Software Verification
* Artificial Intelligence (AI) for MD and MD for AI-based system development
* Theoretical and Mathematical Foundations of MD Approaches
* Multi-View, Multi-Paradigm and Blended Modeling
* Organizational and Human Factors, Skills, and Qualifications for MD Approaches
