MODELS 2019 - Call for Tutorial Proposals
ACM/IEEE 22nd International Conference on Model Driven Engineering
Languages and Systems
15-20 September 2019 Munich, Germany
http://www.modelsconference.org/
***************************************************************
Following the tradition of previous conferences, MODELS 2019 will
host
tutorials as part of its satellite events on September 15 to 17,
2019.
Tutorials provide intensive courses on topics in the area of
model-based software and systems engineering ranging from modeling
methodologies and research methods through new modeling tools and
technologies to thoughts on the past, current, and future
development
of the modeling discipline.
---------------------
Important Dates
---------------------
- Tutorial proposal submission: March 16, 2019, Anywhere on Earth
(i.e. UTC-12)
- Notification: April 16, 2019
- Tutorials: September 15-17, 2019
---------------------
Audience
---------------------
Tutorials target an audience of practitioners, researchers
(academic
and industrial), students, and developers familiar with, and
already
working with, modeling techniques. The target audience typically
has a
strong interest in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), including work
on
improving and evolving modeling languages (such as UML or DSLs),
developing sophisticated MDE tool support, and using MDE to
develop /
test / reverse / maintain complex systems. Potential attendees may
also be interested in how modeling has been applied effectively in
specialized domains (e.g., in the automotive industry), and in
learning about successful uses of MDE methods in real-world
applications.
---------------------
Topics
---------------------
The following themes are examples of what is considered relevant
for tutorials:
- Modeling techniques for specific domains (e.g., automobile,
cyber-physical and hybrid systems, Industry 4.0, Internet of
Things,
...)
- Modeling methodologies and model-oriented processes (e.g., for
agile
modeling or modeling at scale)
- AI in modeling (including search*based approaches, machine
learning,
planning, or flexible modeling)
- Presentation of new tools or new versions of old tools (e.g.,
modeling tools, language workbenches, model transformation
languages,
model verification tools, model execution tools)
- Dissemination of project results from industry-related projects
- Teaching of model-driven software development
- Research methods in MD* (Model-Driven Development (MDD), Model
Driven Engineering (MDE), Model Driven Software Development
(MDSD),
etc.)
- Modeling for re-engineering and legacy evolution
- Empirical studies in the context of modeling
- User experience in model-based software engineering
- Practical experiences of general interest
- General topics of interest to young researchers, like
presentation
skills or research methodologies
Tutorials are intended to provide independent instructions on a
topic
of relevance to the audience described above. Therefore, no
sales-oriented presentations will be accepted. Tutorials relating
to
commercial tools or involving the use of commercial tools may be
accepted but will be subject to closer scrutiny, including
possible
approval of presentation slides. Potential presenters should keep
in
mind that there may be quite a varied audience, including novice
graduate students, seasoned practitioners, and specialized
researchers. Tutorial speakers should be prepared to cope with
this
diversity.
---------------------
Proposal Contents
---------------------
All submissions must be in English and adhere to the IEEE
formatting
instructions
(
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
The submission must include the following information in the
indicated
order:
- Title
- Presenters: Name, affiliation, contact information, and short
bio.
- Authors of the proposal or tutorial material, who are not going
to
be presenting, may be listed, but must be listed last with a
footnote
“Author only; will not be presenting”.
- Abstract (maximum of 200 words)
- If accepted, the abstract will be used to advertise the
tutorial.
Thus, the abstract should clearly highlight the goals of the
tutorial
and the skills that participants will acquire.
- Keywords (at least 5 keywords)
- Proposed length: half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours)
- Regular tutorials should be set up as half-day tutorials (3
hours).
A proposal for a full-day tutorial (6 hours) must be accompanied
by a
clear justification of why 6 hours are necessary.
- Level of the tutorial: beginner/introduction or advanced
- Target audience and any prerequisite background required by
attendees to be able to follow the tutorial (beyond average
modeling
skills)
- Description of the tutorial and intended outline (maximum of 4
pages)
- Novelty of the tutorial
- List offerings of similar tutorials at previous editions of the
MODELS conference or other conferences, and discuss the
differences
with respect to the current proposal
- Required infrastructure
- Declare any infrastructure that you would need for your tutorial
besides a data projector (e.g., flip charts, whiteboards). We will
do
our best together with the local organizers to provide you with
the
needed infrastructure
- Sample slides (minimum of 6 slides, maximum of 25 slides)
- Supplementary material (optional)
---------------------
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format through
the
MODELS 2019 Tutorials EasyChair submission page at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=models2019; Select
category
“Tutorials”, by March 16, 2019 AoE.
This is a hard deadline. No extensions will be allowed.
---------------------
Review Process
---------------------
The Tutorials Selection Committee will review each submitted
proposal
to ensure high quality, and select tutorials based on their
anticipated benefit for prospective participants and their fit
within
the tutorial program as a whole. Factors to be considered also
include: relevance, timeliness, importance, and audience appeal;
effectiveness of teaching methods; and past experience and
qualifications of the instructors. The goal will be to provide a
diverse set of tutorials that attracts a high level of interest
among
broad segments of the MODELS participants.
---------------------
Compensation
---------------------
As in previous years, participants will pay a single satellite
fee,
which will cover both tutorials and workshops. This permits
unifying
the treatment of workshops and tutorials, and it makes tutorials
more
attractive to attendees. Under this scheme, tutorial presenters
will
not receive monetary compensation and will have to pay their own
registration to the satellite events. By submitting a tutorial
proposal, the presenter accepts that there will be no compensation
for
giving the tutorial if accepted and that the registration fees for
the
instructors have to be funded by the instructors themselves. The
benefit to the presenter is the opportunity to extend their sphere
of
influence to the MODELS community.
