About ECMDA-FA

Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is an initiative proposed by the Object Management
Group (OMG) for platform-independent software development. It promotes the use of
models in the specification, design, analysis, synthesis, deployment, and evolution of
complex software systems.

ECMDA-FA is dedicated to advancing the state of knowledge and fostering the
industrialisation of the MDA methodology. Its focus is on engaging key figures of
research and industry, in Europe and elsewhere, in a dialogue which will result in a
stronger, more efficient industry, producing more reliable software on the basis of
state-of-the-art research results. The 2009 conference will be again organised in two
tracks dealing with the foundations and applications of MDA. There will be additional
workshops, tools and poster exhibitions on these subjects.

ECMDA-FA 2009 is proud to host the following keynote speakers:

- David Harel, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel
- Tim Trew, NXP Semiconductors, The Netherlands
- Akira Ohata, Toyota Motors, Japan

Call for Papers

Topics

ECMDA has two separate paper tracks, one for research papers (Track F) and one for
industrial papers (Track A). Each track will be judged differently. The academic
track will be reviewed using common academic review guidelines, focusing on novel
contributions to knowledge. Papers in the industrial track may be shorter and will
be judged against special guidelines, as described below.

Research Papers on Foundations of MDA (Academic Track F)

In this track, we are soliciting papers presenting original research on all aspects
of MDA. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest are:

- Metamodeling ? foundations and tools
? Model Transformation and Code Generation
? Reasoning about Models
? Model Navigation
- Model Synchronization and Consistency
? Modeling of Requirements, Architectures, Platforms
? Reverse Engineering
- Modeling for Testing and Validation
? Model Execution and Simulation
? Modeling of Service Qualities and of Safety and Security
? Aspect Modeling
? Software Process Modeling, Enactment and Execution

The research papers should be between 12 and 16 pages long, in A4 size compliant with
the LNCS paper style and should be submitted as PDF. They will be evaluated on novelty
and theoretical contribution. No simultaneous submission to other publication outlets
(either a conference or a journal) is allowed; any concurrent submission will result
in the immediate rejection of the paper. The proceedings are planned to be published
in a Springer LNCS volume.

Industrial Papers on Applications of MDA (Industrial Track A)

In this track, we are soliciting papers representing the views and experience of
industrial players in MDA and of MDA users. In particular, we are looking for papers that
set requirements on the foundations, methods and tools for MDA. We are also seeking
experience reports or case studies on the application, successes or current shortcomings
of MDA. Quantitative results are appreciated. Industrial papers on all application
areas of MDA are welcomed and may focus, for example, on one of the following:

? MDA for Complex Systems and Systems of Systems
- MDA for Embedded Systems and Real-Time Systems
? MDA for High-Integrity Systems, Safety-Critical, and Security-Critical Systems
? MDA in the Automotive, Aerospace, Telecommunications, Electronics Industries
? Comparative Studies of MDA Methods and Tools
? MDA Technology Adoption, Development and Roll-Out Processes
? Metrics for MDA Development
? MDA Training
? MDA for Legacy Systems
- MDA for Systems Engineering
? Model Verification and Quality-Driven System Development
? MDA and Multi-Domain Modeling Languages
? MDA and Component-Based Software Engineering
? MDA and Service-Oriented Architectures
? MDA and Business Process Modeling

The length of an industrial paper should be between 6 and 12 pages. Industrial papers
will be evaluated on practical feasibility, maturity, and industrial relevance.
No simultaneous submission to other publication outlets (conference or journal) is
allowed. The proceedings are planned to be published in the same Springer LNCS volume
as the proceedings of the Foundations track.

Submission and selection

You are asked to submit your contribution through the web site; see http://ecmda2009.utwente.nl/submit.

Call for Workshops and Tutorials

Researchers and practitioners interested in organizing a satellite workshop or
tutorial in the context of ECMDA 2009 are invited to submit proposals on topics
related to the conference.
The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a forum for presenting
novel ideas, and to discuss them in an open and interactive atmosphere. Responsibility
for the format and organization of each workshop rests with the submitters of the
workshop proposal, but the ECMDA conference organizers will provide rooms, audio-visual
equipment, and other logistic support. The workshop proposals will be selected by the
workshop chair, according to the advice of the ECMDA steering committee.

The purpose of the tutorials is to provide instruction to both academic and industrial
participants in key areas related to MDA. An industrial tutorial should focus on hands-on
experience in various aspects of MDA, including, for example, modeling methodologies,
transformation techniques, document and code generation, test generation and execution.

Academic tutorials should focus on emerging areas of research, including motivation,
state-of-the-art, and advanced topics.
