CALL FOR PAPERS

Second European Workshop on Milestones, Models and Mappings for
Model-Driven Architecture  (3M4MDA 2007):
Towards Model-Driven Service-Oriented Architectures

  == submission deadline in 2 weeks ! ==

11 June 2007,  Haifa, Israel

In conjunction with the Third European Conference on Model-Driven
Architecture – ECMDA 2007

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Metamodelling and model transformation techniques have advanced quite a
lot in the last years, fostering in this way the adoption of model-driven
engineering practices. Once these more advanced techniques became
available they started being applied in the model-driven development of
large (distributed) IT systems.

Many issues have risen from the practical application of the model-driven
approach, most notably those that relate to the purpose and the
characteristics of the system under design and that translate to
requirements on milestones, models and mappings to be applied in the
model-driven development process. These issues should be taken into
account in the next generation of model-driven methods and modelling
techniques.

This workshop aims at promoting the convergence of the research and
practical application by focusing on the milestones in the model-driven
development process, the models to be used, and mappings to be established
between these models. After a successful edition of the workshop at ECMDA
2006, this year's edition will focus on the application of model-driven
approaches in the development of services and service-oriented
architectures. The program of the workshop will consist of an invited
keynote speech and a number of paper presentations.

We expect to receive contributions in methods and modelling techniques for
services and their compositions (including design concepts, languages,
metamodels, profiles and specification frameworks); advances in
methodological guidance for the model-driven service development process,
and advances in model transformations (or mappings) targeted to deploy
services and their compositions in (web-)services platforms.

TOPICS

We invite original submissions from both researchers and practitioners in
the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics:

* Model-driven service-oriented design process, milestones and design
guidelines for service engineering;
* Modelling techniques for Service-Oriented Architectures (design
concepts, languages, meta-models, profiles and specification frameworks);
* Modelling, analysis and execution of service compositions;
* Platform-independent modelling techniques for services;
* Mappings and transformation patterns from platform-independent models to
specific technology platforms (Web Services, J2EE, .NET, etc.).
* Limitations of UML for MDA-SOA, alternative languages;
* Model-driven service description, publication and discovery;
* Platform models and generic platform types for services;
* Use of viewpoints, relations and correspondences between viewpoints for
model-driven service-oriented design;
* Implications of (middleware) platform characteristics for the
model-driven service-oriented design process.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

The workshop welcomes submissions of full papers (10 to 15 pages long) and
position papers (around 5 pages) in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) format. All submissions will be formally peer reviewed by
at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in workshop
proceedings, published in the CTIT Workshop Proceedings Series (ISSN
1381-3625). At least one author of each accepted paper should participate
in the workshop.

Submissions should be sent in PDF format by email to jpalmeida at ieee.org
