Preliminary call for workshop papers
"Model-Driven Approaches to Software
Development"
8th
International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems (OOIS'02)
The goal of this workshop is to
look at issues related to model-driven development. Discussions in the workshop
will address questions such as the following: What is model-driven
development? How effective is it? What is a model-driven architecture (MDA)
architecture? How can models be used to
support agile development of systems?
"Extreme
Programming", "Agile Modeling",
"Model-driven software development", "Model-driven
architectures", "Agile Development", “OMG’s
MDA”. These catch-phrases are
currently the topic of much discussion in the software development world.
Some software methodologists
say that modeling should drive the whole process. Some say modeling should be only done
informally, and that models should not be kept for future use (i.e., that they are
temporary artifacts produced during development). How useful is modeling? When should it be done? Can modeling be demonstrated to provide
business value? Can architectures be
developed using "agile" or XP approaches? What makes an approach agile, and what makes
agile approaches advantageous? Can
model-driven approaches be agile? Can we
quantify the benefits of agile approaches?
These are all questions
currently receiving a lot of attention in the software development world. This workshop solicits papers on any of
these, or related topics, especially papers integrating agile approaches and
model-driven development, and papers showing empirical support for these
approaches. Papers focusing on the
integration (or lack of ability to integrate) of agile and model-driven
approaches fits well within the OOIS conference theme, "Information System
Integration."
Relevant topics include, but
are not limited to:
· Issues in model-driven development
· OMG's Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)
· The value of models (e.g., business models,
enterprise architectures, requirements and design models)
· Modeling techniques and notations relevant
to IS development
· Assumptions underlying model-driven
development
· The compatibility (or tension) between agile
and model-driven development
· Business value of modeling
· Empirical validation of the value of
modeling, especially using the OMG's UML and MDA
· Empirical support for the effectiveness of
model-driven and agile development approaches
· Empirical validation of the benefits of
Agile development (XP, Scrum, etc.)
This workshop is intended for
researchers and practitioners who are interested in model-driven development
and architectures, how to better build and use them, what form(s) they take,
and their value. It is assumed that
participants are familiar with basic concepts and issues in the domain of
model-driven development.
There are two types of
submissions: position papers and full papers.
Position papers may be up to 5 pages in length, while full papers may be
up to 15 pages. All submissions should
be single-spaced, using 12-point font, and have 1-inch margins all around. Postscript, Word, and PDF formats are acceptable. A Program Committee will review the
submissions and select papers that present relevant and interesting ideas and
concepts that can contribute to the discussions that will take place in the
workshop. OOIS plans to print a Springer
proceedings of the workshop. Extended
versions of outstanding papers may be recommended for publication in an
appropriate journal.
