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