Call for Papers - Workshop
*Model-Driven Tool- & Process Integration* In conjunction with ECMDA, 2008,
Berlin/Germany
(http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/go/ecmda2008/)

Duration: 1 Day
Date: Monday, 9th June 2008

_Workshop Description_:
Model Based Engineering (MBE) is on the advance. The reason for this advance
is the promise of handling the increase of complexity within the software
and its development process by raising the level of abstraction using models
as information storage. In the past years tool vendors adapted the approach
of using models as information storage of their applications utilizing the
advantages of these technologies (e.g. model querying, model consistency,
implicit interface, notification mechanisms). Other vendors now provide the
possibility of model import and export, some tool vendors do not respond to
this trend out of different reasons so that adapters are provided by 3rd
party vendors.
All that shows, that MBE has made good progress, concerning the information
representation. Now that the tool internal information becomes available as
models, the problem of integration and distribution still exists, and is one
of the next barriers to tackle on the way to an efficient and productive MBE
approach.

The main concern of this workshop is the integration and distribution of
these information and tools and the underlying techniques which are
required.

_Topics include, but are not limited to_ * Tool integration frameworks (e.g.
repositories, interfaces, adapters, transport layer) * Distributed tool
chains * Management of tool chains * Granularity of access * Security and
access control of models and tools * Orchestration and process enactment *
Model Driven Process Integration * Adaptation between meta modelling
frameworks (e.g. MOF 1.4 , CMOF, EMF, EMOF) * Model and model element
identification * Model Driven Enterprise Service Bus * Model Based System
Management * Distributed Modelling Technologies (e.g. distributed model
querying) * Problem scenarios, user requirements, practice reports & success

_Format of the Workshop_
The workshop will comprise presentations of accepted papers, tool
presentations, and keynotes. Papers should be submitted in advance and will
be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. All accepted
papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. It is planned to publish
bounded proceedings by the Fraunhofer Verlag (Publisher) with ISBN. At least
one author for each accepted paper should register for the workshop at the
conference and present the paper. For every accepted paper a second reader
will make a second presentation containing questions and critiques. This
shall facilitate exchange of ideas and stimulate discussions among the
workshop participant.

_Paper Submission_
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of
the areas listed above. Scientific papers, position papers and experience
reports are welcome equally. Only papers in English will be accepted. Length
of papers should be 5 pages minimum and must not exceed
12 pages formatted in LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Papers have to present
original contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Papers can be
submitted to the workshop organizer by e-mail.

_Background_
The organizers participate in the MODELPLEX project
(http://www.modelplex-ist.org/) co-funded by the European Commission under
the IST Sixth Framework Programme which focuses among other things on many
of the items listed above.
