Previous MEDI events took place at Obidos/Portugal (2011), Poitiers/France (2012), Calabria/Italy (2013), Larnaca/Cyrpus (2014) and Rhodes Island/ Greece (2015). The main objective of the conference is to provide a forum for the dissemination of research accomplishments and to promote the interaction and collaboration between the models and data research communities. This international scientific event, initiated by researchers from Euro-Mediterranean countries, aims also at promoting the creation of north-south scientific networks, projects and faculty/student exchanges. *_Topics_ **Modelling and Models Engineering* * Design of general-purpose modelling languages and related stand-ards * Model driven engineering, modelling languages, meta-modelling, model transformation, model evolution * Formal modelling, verification and validation, analysis, testing * Ontology based modelling, role of ontologies in modelling activities * Model manipulation and models as first objects * Heterogeneous modelling, model integration, interoperability * Modeling in software engineering; applications of models * Modeling in the contexts of emerging applications and paradigms: cloud computing, data analytics, big data, social network,services, etc. * Modeling & Standards *Data Engineering* * Heterogeneous data, data Integration and Interoperability * Distributed, parallel, grid, p2p, cloud databases * Data warehouses and OLAP, data mining * Database system Internals, performance, self-tuning benchmarking and testing * Database security, personalization, recommendation * Web databases, ontology based databases * Applications and case studies * Modeling for Data Management * New models and architectures for databases and data warehouses * Modeling and quality of data * Modeling for enhancing sharing data * Models for explicit and implicit semantics based data optimization * Model reification, model repositories * Modeling nonfunctional properties of systems * Data as models and models as data * Service based data management, service oriented applications * Models for data monitoring * Urbanization of database applications * Cost Models for New Paradigms * Eco-design of Advanced Database Applications * Data Lifecycle Management for Big Data (sources, cleansing, federation, preservation, privacy, etc.) * Machine Learning * Knowledge Bases * Hardware optimizations for Big Data (multi-core, GPU, networking, etc.) * Data Flow management and scheduling * Storage and analytic architectures * Recommendation & Personalization * Trust and credential management * Trusted Computing in Cloud Computing *Applications and tooling* * Industry transfer, experiences * Data and model manipulation and tooling * Modelling tools and experimentation _*General Co-Chairs:*_ * Jesús M.

Papers should be submitted in PDF format. Submissions must conform to Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format and should not exceed 12 pages. Authors who want to buy extra pages may submit a paper up to 16 pages with the indication that the authors will purchase extra pages if the paper is accepted. Submissions which do not conform to the LNCS format and/or which exceed 12 pages (or 16 pages with the extra page purchase commitment) will be rejected without reviews. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All accepted papers will be published in Springer LNCS series. Duplicate submissions are not allowed. *Gala party will take place 22 September in Fort-Bravo/Texas-Hollywood* http://fortbravooficial.com/ /Fort-Bravo/Texas-Hollywood are the biggest film studios of Western style in Europe. They are located in the desert of Tabernas, Almería. These decorations dating from the 60´s when Sergio Leone discovered Tabernas (Almería) and started rolling his numerous successes in the cinema, making Tabernas a reference to making movies, knows as spaghetti-western movies. Currently in Fort Bravo is still rolling films, commercials, music videos, shorts films... You can contemplate an authentic wooden populated American Old West, see a typical Mexican town, enter in a military fort and see an Indian village or walking in the streets of the West town, watching the show of cowboys with gunfights and poker games in the Saloon, bank robbery, cancan dancing in traditional costumes of the time, ride on horse cart, rental horses for guided walks and routes, photo studio for dressing like the people of the Western era... Fort-Bravo/Texas-Hollywood has Saloon-Bar , restaurant, souvenir shop to get souvenir gift and bungalows fully equipped for use and enjoyment. And in summer Fort-Bravo/Texas-Hollywood has a beautiful themed swimming pool for taking a bath with your family and a private BBQ local or a very big Saloon of celebrations for all kinds of events, celebrations, parties, communions, weddings and bachelor./ Regards Ladjel. -- Ladjel BELLATRECHE Professor LIAS/ISAE-ENSMA Téléport 2 - 1 avenue Clément Ader - BP 40109 86961 FUTUROSCOPE CHASSENEUIL Cedex - FRANCE Tel.
