June 21-22, 2004, Linköping University, Sweden, organized by: Research Center for Integrational Software Engineering (RISE), Programming Environments Lab (PELAB), Institutionen för datavetenskap (IDA), Linköping University, Sweden, Model-Driven Architecture® is an initiative of the Object Management Group (OMG), Supported by the Object Management Group (OMG).

Model Driven Architecture (MDA, http://www.omg.org/mda) separates the specification of system functionality from the specification of the implementation on a specific platform. It is aimed at making the software assets more resilient to changes caused by the emerging technologies and makes the role of modeling and models in the current software development much more important. The MDA initiative covers a wide spectrum of research areas; some of them are already well established and some are newly emerged. Further efforts are required to bring them into a coherent approach, based on open standards and supported by matured tools and techniques. The goal of this working conference is to understand the foundations, to analyze the state of-the-art, to identify problems and solutions, to outline future research directions and to share experience in applying MDA techniques and tools.

• Modelling and MDA
  • Formal modelling of aspects of MDA
  • Ontologies and domain-specific models
  • Meta modelling and meta models for PIMs and PSMs
  • Model composition
  • MDA profiles
• MDA development process
  • Aspect-oriented modelling and MDA
  • MDA and Agile - a contradiction?
  • Variability management in MDA
• MDA technologies (UML®, OCL, XMI®)
  • Model transformations: foundations and heuristics
  • Graph rewrite systems for MDA
  • Executability of MDA models
  • Code generation based on UML profiles
  • Round-trip Engineering and its automation
• Model analysis in MDA
  • Model validation and model checking
  • MDA tools
• Application areas
  • MDA for embedded and real-time systems
  • MDA for component platforms, such as EJB or .NET
  • Experience reports
  • Case studies
• Special session for MDA and the Semantic Web
  • This is supported by the EU Network REWERSE (Reasoning on the Web with Rules and Semantic)
  • MDA for Web Services
  • Ontologies and their relation to profiles
  • OCL vs. OWL - the big competition?
  • Executable logic specifications
• Special session for MDA for embedded and real-time systems
  • This is supported by the HIDOORS EU IST project

Two types of papers are expected: extended abstract papers (no longer than 4 pages) and full papers (no longer than 15 pages). Accepted short and full papers will be included in a technical report available at the workshop.

It is planned to publish the full papers and selected short papers after the workshop in an LNCS volume from Springer. The final approval is pending and depends on the number of submitted high-quality papers. Preferably, papers should respect the LNCS format.

After the workshop, authors will be given the opportunity to submit an improved version of their papers. We expect a final decision on the LNCS volume in May.

Use this form to submit papers.

• Submission Due: April 24, 2004 (extended)
• Notification of Acceptance: May 17, 2004
• Camera-ready copy due: May 20, 2004, midnight
• Date: June 10-11, 2004

You can combine the workshop easily with WICSA-4 (June 12-14) and Ecoop 2004 (June 14-18), both located in Oslo. Invited Speakers

• Fred Waskiewicz, OMG Director of Standards, OMG, “MDA 2004: A Report on Current Work and Future Development”
• Dr. Sean Bechhofer, University of Manchester, author of the OilEd ontology editor and the Hoolet OWL reasoner, “OWL - an ontology language for the Semantic Web”.
• Dr. Liping Zhao, The Victoria University of Manchester, “Abstractions for Separating Concerns in the MDA”.
