Model-Based Software Engineering
Special Track
in the Twentieth International
Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE'08)
Hotel Sofitel,
(http://www.ksi.edu/seke/seke08.html
)
SCOPE AND GOALS
The amount of
information contained in a software implementation usually far exceeds our
ability to comprehend it. We need high-level abstract descriptions, or models,
to document, communicate, reason about, verify, and reuse software designs.
This special track on Model-Based Software Engineering (MBSE) in SEKE08 is established to provide a forum for researchers and industry practitioners to discuss Model-Based Software Engineering issues, challenges and needs, and exchange new ideas and solutions as well as practice experience.
The topics for
submissions include, but are not limited to, the following:
·
Metamodeling frameworks and languages
·
Domain-specific and reusable model development
·
Models of software behavior
·
Visual notation for MBSE
·
Model-based
requirements analysis
·
Model-based approach to COTS systems, SOA-based
systems
·
Techniques for supporting model interchange between
tools (e.g., model transformation)
·
Approaches for code generation from software models
·
Model-based
software testing, verification, and validation
·
Model-based evolution of software systems
·
The role of ontology in MBSE
·
Knowledge- and semantic-preserving transformations
between models and metamodels
·
Case studies and empirical studies showing success or
failure of MBSE usage
