----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Model-driven Engineering (MDE Intelligence) co-located with MODELS 2019, September 2019, Munich, Germany https://mde-intelligence.github.io/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------- MOTIVATION -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Model-driven engineering (MDE) and artificial intelligence (AI) are two separate fields in computer science, which can clearly benefit from cross-pollination and collaboration. There are at least two ways in which such integration—which we call MDE Intelligence—can manifest: -) Artificial Intelligence for MDE. MDE can benefit from integrating AI concepts and ideas, for example by increasing the power and flexibility of model transformations through search-based approaches, or by increasing the ability to abstract from partially formed, manual sketches into fully-shaped and formally specified meta-models and editors. -) MDE for Artificial Intelligence. Conversely, AI can benefit from integrating concepts and ideas from MDE. For example, using domain-specific languages and model transformations allows domain experts to directly express and manipulate their problems while providing an auditable conversion pipeline. Together this can improve trust in and safety of AI technologies. Similarly, MDE technologies can contribute to the goal of explainable AI.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

AI for MDE: - Application of (meta-heuristic) search to modelling problems; - Machine learning of models, meta-models, concrete syntax, model transformations, etc.; - AI planning applied to modelling, meta-modelling, and model management; - Modeling bots, chatbots and virtual assistants in the modeling tasks; - Model inferencers and automatic model generators from datasets; - Self-adapting code generators; - AI-based user interface adaptation for modeling tools; - AI with human-in-the-loop for modeling; - Semantic reasoning platforms over domain-specific models; - Semantic integration of design-time models with runtime data; - General-knowledge or domain-specific ontologies; - Probabilistic models; - Use of AI techniques in data, process and model mining and categorisation; - Natural language processing applied to modelling; - Perception and modelling.

MDE for AI: - Domain-specific modelling approaches for AI planning, machine learning, agent-based modelling, etc.; - Model-driven processes for AI system development; - MDE techniques for explainable AI; - Using models for knowledge representation; - Code-generation for AI libraries and platforms; - Model-based testing of AI components.

General - Tools for combining AI and MDE; - Case studies in MDE Intelligence; - Challenge problems to be addressed by combining AI and MDE techniques.
