Call for Papers
2nd International Workshop on
Model-based Interactive Ubiquitous Systems
- MODIQUITOUS -


|| http://www.modiquitous.net
|| In conjunction with the ACM EICS Symposium 2012, June 25-28, 2012, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Overview
Ubiquitous systems are introducing a new quality of interaction both into our lives and into software engineering. Software becomes increasingly dynamic making frequent changes to system structures, distribution, and behavior necessary. Also, the constant adaptation to new user needs and contexts as well as new modalities and communication channels make these systems differ strongly from what has been standard over the last decades.
Models and model-based interaction at runtime and design-time form a promising approach for coping with the dynamics and uncertainties inherent to interactive ubiquitous systems (IUS). Hence, this workshop discusses how model-based approaches can be used to cope with these challenges. Therefore, it covers the range from design-time to runtime models and from interaction to software engineering, addressing issues of interaction with and engineering of interactive ubiquitous systems.
The MODIQUITOUS workshop is intended to discuss challenges and possible solutions of the EICS community to design and runtime aspects of interactive ubiquitous systems with a focus on model-based approaches. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners focused on different problems of IUS.
The workshop is planned as a full day workshop and aims to provide a forum for discussing new ideas, issues and solutions. Therefore, it will include introductory statements, demonstrations and presentations of workshop contributions from participants and discussions of different types.

Topics of Interest
The topics of particular interest to MODIQUITOUS include (but are not limited to):
- Model-driven architecture (MDA) in the context of IUS
- Advantages and potential problems of using MDA in the IUS domain
- Domain and Meta models for IUS, specifically for IUS-related aspects like interaction, different modalities, dynamic distribution, context-awareness, etc.
- Model-driven generation of (intelligent) IUS
- Model-to-model and model-to-code transformations for IUS development
- Model-driven development and execution architectures, i.e., runtime systems for IUS
- Tools and frameworks for supporting the model-driven development of IUS
- Concepts for context-awareness and self-adaptation of IUS at the model and runtime level
- Software and Usability Engineering aspects in the context of model-based IUS
- Innovative ideas and novel application solutions for new interactive ubiquitous settings, e.g., from the fields of mobile computing, pervasive computing and social software
- Studies on interaction concepts on IUS
- Requirements, insights and experiences from existing mobile and pervasive settings
