Goal
The goal of this workshop is to look at issues related to developing
appropriate model-driven approaches to
monitoring and managing the execution of systems. This is the first workshop
(in its third edition) to address this
theme and its treatment requires the bringing together of a variety of
communities including researchers
working on model-driven software development, software architectures,
reflection (including for example
architectural reflection), and autonomic and self healing systems.
Discussions in the workshop will address
questions such as: What should a runtime model look like? How can the models
be maintained at runtime?
What are the best approaches to follow when developing runtime models?

The workshop aims to:
- Integrate and combine research ideas from the areas cited above.
- Provide a “state-of-the-research” assessment expressed in terms of
research issues, challenges, and
accomplishments. This assessment can be used to guide research in the area.
- Continue to build a network of researchers in this area, building on the
previous editions.
- Plan and promote further events on these topics.
We strongly encourage authors to address the following topics. Labelled
research topics with (*) are crucially
important:
- What a runtime model looks like and how does it evolve? (*)
- How can runtime models be maintained? (*)
- How can runtime models be validated?
- What abstractions over runtime phenomena are useful?
- How are the abstractions tied to the types of adaptations supported? (*)
- How do these abstractions evolve over time? (*)
- Are new abstractions created during runtime? (*)
- How are the causal relationships with executing code realized? (*)
- What is the role of reflection in maintaining the causal connection
between models and runtime system?
- The relevance and suitability of different model-driven approaches to
monitoring and managing systems
during runtime
- Examples of how models can be used to validate and verify the behaviour of
the system at runtime (*)
- Compatibility (or tension) between different model-driven approaches
- How do models at other phases of the SE lifecycle relate to the
corresponding runtime models?
- Small demos and tools that support the use of models at run.time (*)
