After the 1st International Workshop on Non-functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages (NFPinDSML2008-http://planet-mde.org/nfpindsml), organized as a satelite event of the MoDELS 2008 http://www.modelsconference.org), and whose program, presentations and publications can be found at http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/trustsoft/en/35927.html, in order to further expand further expand principles of reasoning about non-functional properties of software systems in Domain Specific Modeling Languages, and model-driven engineering in general

************************************************************************************************** The Journal of Software and Systems Modeling (www.sosym.org) announces the

1st Call for Papers for the Theme Section on Non-functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages

**************************************************************************************************

For the engineering of systems of a particular domain, Domain Specific Modeling Languages (DSML) � domain-oriented languages for solving specific classes of problems related to such a domain � are becoming a common-place in software and system engineering. Furthermore Model Driven Engineering suggests multidimensional system development with a domain specific modeling language for each dimension. With domain specific modeling languages software intensive systems design is moved from the implementation domain, to the problem domain. In this way productivity of software development process is improved because most of the design time is spent on solving problems in their domain, and implementation is left to be done (semi)automatically.

The importance of non-functional properties (NFP) of software systems, such as availability, reliability, performance, security and so on is generally acknowledged by the software engineering community. They are at least important as functional, and must be considered during software system design. Estimation and evaluation of NFP are usually done with mathematical analytical models, simulation models, or measurement and assessment.

The Journal of Software and Systems Modeling therefore seeks original, high-quality manuscripts for its special section on Non-functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages, to appear in 2009. This special section concentrates on topics of integrating non-functional system properties estimation and evaluation in process of software development with DSMLs including:

�Foundations e.g., theory and principles of non-functional system properties estimation and evaluation integration in DSML engineering,...

�Tools e.g. tool support for non-functional system properties annotation, estimation and evaluationo of DSML system models,...

�Traceability e.g. non-functional system properties in DSMLs and traceability of requirements in implementation,...

�Transformation e.g. non-functional properties of transformation, transformation dependent non-functional properties,...

�Domain specific non-functional properties e.g. non-functional properties of embedded systems, health-care systems,...

�Legal policies e.g. integration and assessment of legal policies of non-functional system properties in DSMLs,...
