We apologize in the case of receiving multiple copies of this CfP *********************************************************************************************************************************************************

After the success of the 1st NFPinDSML(http://planet-mde.org/nfpindsml2008) workshop co-located with the MoDELS2008 and a special theme section of Journal on Software and System Modeling (SoSyM, http://www.trustsoft.uni-oldenburg.de/en/36860.html), it is our pleasure to announce

********************************************************************************************************************************************************* 2nd International Workshop on Non-functional System Properties and Domain Specific Modeling Languages (NFPinDSML 2009)

https://nfpindsml.semtech.athabascau.ca/?q=node/1 Affiliated with MoDELS 2009, Denver, Colorado, USA, Oct 4 – Oct 9, 2009,

The 2nd NFPinDSML brings together researchers and practitioners from communities dedicated to non-functional properties of software systems and researchers from language engineering to study the principles of integration of various non-functional system properties and language engineering in order to further expand principles of reasoning about non-functional properties of software systems in Domain Specific Modeling Languages, and model-driven engineering in general.

The importance of non-functional properties of software systems is generally acknowledged by the software engineering community. Non-functional properties of software systems are at least important as functional properties, and must be considered during design of software systems. For the engineering of systems of a particular domain, Domain Specific Modeling Languages – domain-oriented modeling languages developed for solving specific classes of problems related to such a domain – are becoming a common-place in software and system engineering. Nevertheless, as till now, the study of engineering Domain Specific Modeling Languages and analysis of non-functional properties of software systems lack common principles. For this reason, non-functional properties analysis should be addressed during the language design phase.

The typical NFPinDSML paper studies Domain Specific Modeling Language descriptions, and annotation, computation and evaluation of non-functional properties of a final software product as a characteristic of a language. In this way, a user of a language can certify and optimize the design of a system under study with respect to values of different non-functional properties of his product at all stages of development. Because of the significant variety of languages and their application, the synergic use is rather a complex task that requires join efforts of different communities. Scope. The 2nd NFPinDSML intends to discuss all relevant aspects of integration of non-functional system requirements and Domain Specific Language engineering. Language engineering specifically aims to explain and support the design, the reuse, and the evolution of Domain Specific Language definitions and their relation and transformation to mathematical formalisms and simulation models for non-functional system properties estimation and evaluation.

This year’s workshop particularly pays attention to the multi dimensional analysis, commonalities and differences in DSMLs observed from the perspective of different NFP estimation and evaluation, and annotation of DSMLs’ constructs for NFP analysis. The workshop topics include, but are not restricted to: -Platform models in domain specific modeling languages -Model annotations and computation of non-functional properties -Non-functional properties and traceability in domain specific modeling languages -Aspect-oriented modeling and non-functional properties in domain specific modeling languages  -Estimation and evaluation of non-functional properties in domain specific modeling languages with aspects  -Domain-specific aspects for estimation, evaluation and measurement -Multi-dimensional modeling and NFP:  -Multi-dimensional modeling for NFP estimation, evaluation, and assessment  -NFP estimation, evaluation, and assessment of multi-dimensional models -Assessment of non-functional properties in domain specific modeling languages  -Estimation of non-functional properties in domain specific modeling languages with simulation and mathematical formalisms  -Measurement of non-functional properties in domain specific languages  -Verification of non-functional properties in domain specific languages -Transformations and non-functional properties  -Transformation as non-functional properties influencing design choice  -Non-functional properties of transformations -Early decisions on NFPs in modeling with domain specific languages -Ontologies for formalizing shared knowledge about non-functional system properties -Integration of legal policies into domain specific modeling languages

For the reason that non-functional and functional properties can vary in different domains, e.g. timing properties and sometimes reliability properties are often considered functional in the domain of embedded systems, we also cover topics of non-functional properties of particular domains and their domain specific modeling languages: -Non-functional properties and domain specific modeling languages in SOA -Non-functional properties and domain specific modeling languages in event driven architectures -Non-functional properties and domain specific modeling languages in embedded and reactive systems -Non-functional properties and domain specific modeling languages in health-care systems

Papers submission. We solicit position papers (4 to 8 pages) and full technical papers (up to 14 pages) formatted by using the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Short papers will be expected to discuss controversial issues in the field or describe interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet fully developed. Full papers will be expected to describe new research results and have a higher degree of technical rigor than short papers. All papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. All papers should be submitted via the NFPinDSML online submission system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nfpindsml2009. All papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, while 2 best papers will be selected for publication in a "Workshop and Symposia" post-proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series after the conference. Selected and improved papers of NFPinDSML based on papers that we will solicit through an open-call for papers (subject to a second round of rigorous review) will be published in the a special issue of a suitable magazine (we are currently having the negotiations). Important Dates. Deadline for paper submissions: July 13; Notification of authors: August 15 Workshop Organizers.
