> Abstract
> 
> Both, Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) and Aspect-Oriented
> Software Development (AOSD) 
> are considered important new paradigms in modern software engineering.
> While the two approaches are 
> different in many ways -  MDSD adds domain-specific abstractions,
> while AOSD is currently primarily 
> seen as an implementation technique - they also have many things in
> common - for example they both 
> have a query phase followed by a construction phase. But more
> importantly, we think that it is useful 
> to use both techniques in combination. Two examples for combining MDSD
> with AOSD could be 
> aspect-oriented modeling combined with code generation, or the
> generation of pointcuts for AO languages 
> from a domain model.
> 
> Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
> 
>  - handling crosscutting concerns in modeling 
>  - aspect weaving in models 
>  - measuring the maintainability benefits of models and aspects 
>  - using models to overcome the fragile pointcut problem  
>  - case studies that show the benefits of models and aspects  
> 
> 
> Goal
> 
> This workshop aims at exploring new approaches of using Model-Driven
> and Aspect-Oriented Software Development 
> together. We will invite researchers and practitioners to present
> their approaches and discuss the relevance 
> for practical software development.
> 
> 
> Workshop preparation
> 
> Every interested person is invited to apply for attendance by sending
> a position paper of approximately 1-2 
> pages or a full paper of not more than 6 pages to the organizers.
> Submissions will be reviewed by the 
> organizers. The authors will be notified about acceptance before the
> early registration deadline.
> 
> 
> Planned workshop activities
> 
> The workshop is laid out as full day workshop. 
> Instead of presenting the papers, each participant will be expected to
> review everyone else's paper before 
> the workshop and complete the following two sentences for each:
>  - What I really liked about this paper is ...
>  - The most important question I would like to ask the author is ...
> 
> These answers are written down on index cards and will be collected
> before the workshop. During the workshop, 
> we will spend the morning with questions and answers to gain deeper
> insight into the problem described in the 
> paper. Before each paper session, the author will be permitted a 5
> minute slot to briefly present his paper/work. The workshop format in
> the afternoon will utilize the "Open Space" format in order to discuss
> topics of interest that are directly, or indirectly related to the
> papers presented in the morning.
