The MODELS Conference Series
----------------------------

… is devoted to model-based development for software and systems engineering,
covering all categories of modeling languages, methods, tools, and their
applications. Engineering models have long been used in the development of
complex systems and the approach is also becoming more prevalent in the
design of modern software systems. Methodologies and tools are emerging
and applied successfully in practice. They create and manipulate such models
starting with the earliest phases of development through to implementation
and testing.

The MODELS series of conferences (http://www.modelsconference.org/) is
the premier venue for the exchange of innovative technical ideas and
experiences relating to model-based approaches in the development of
complex systems. To provide a broader forum for reporting on scientific
progress as well as experiences and issues stemming from practical
application of model-based methods, the 2009 conference has two distinct
tracks:

* A scientific track
* An empirical results track


Papers in each track will be evaluated by separate program committees based
on criteria appropriate to that track.
