CALL FOR PAPERS

7th International Workshop on Quality and Measurement of Model-Driven Software Development
(QUAMES 2026), https://quames.testar.org

To be held in conjunction with MODELS 2026, Malaga, Spain

========================================================================================

QUAMES aims to attract research on methods, procedures, techniques, and tools for measuring and evaluating the quality of conceptual models that can be used in MDSD environments. Its main objective is to enable the development of high quality software systems by promoting quality assurance from a model-based perspective and by exploring the challenges, benefits and lessons learned from conceptual modelling in AI-generated software.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Quality models for conceptual models
- Empirical evaluation of quality models
- Metrics, Measures and Measurement of conceptual models
- Defect detection in conceptual models
- Testing of conceptual models
- Model-based testing
- Case studies, experiments, surveys, and and experience reports on quality and measurement of MDSD projects
- No-Code/Low-Code tools for measuring conceptual models
- Tools for quality evaluation of conceptual models
- Tools for model-based testing
- Quality of conceptual models for ethics and trustworthiness
- AI for conceptual models and conceptual models for AI
- Conceptual models for safety critical systems
- Conceptual models for software quality assurance


======================
Paper Submission
======================

Finalized or ongoing research papers concerning the quality, measurement, or testing of models that can be used in MDD environments are welcome for submission.

Accepted papers are planned to be published in the joint workshop proceedings of the MODELS. Papers can be accepted as full papers or short papers, with no more than 10 pages for full papers and no more than 5 pages for short papers.

Submissions to QUAMES 2026 must be formatted according to the ACM formatting guidelines
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

Papers have to be submitted in PDF format using the EasyChair submission page https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=quames2026, track 7th International Workshop on Quality and Measurement of Model-Driven Software Development.

All submissions will be screened by the scientific committee for their appropriateness to the workshop themes and format. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Authors will be guided to fit their presentations to the workshop rules. In case of inconclusive and conflicting review results, internal discussions will be held to decide upon the final acceptance or rejection of a paper.

It is mandatory that at least one author will register and present the paper during the workshop.
