HICSS 40 Minitrack: Tools for Model Driven Development

The HICSS 40 program is now available. The schedule for this minitrack is on page 28. (5th, Jan. Friday afternoon)

Since 1968 the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) has become a respected forum for the substantive interchange of ideas in all areas of information systems and technology. HICSS-40 will be held January 3-6, 2007 at Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort, Waikoloa, Big Island, Hawaii.
Tools for Model Driven Development is a minitrack at HICSS 40. HICSS proceedings are published and distributed by the IEEE Computer Society. All HICSS papers are included in the Computer Society's Digital Library and indexed by the Computer Society and the IEEE.

Call for Papers  (CFP in PDF and TEXT)

Model Driven Development (MDD) is gaining significant momentum in both the software industry and the software engineering academic community. The rapidly increasing maturity of various MDA/UML tools for MDD and Microsoft's introduction of the software factory initiative and the Domain Specific Language (DSL) support state-of-the-art engineering practices. Concurrently, leading academic research is exploring new MDD approaches such as aspect modeling, domain specific modeling, graph/model transformation, visual modeling and generative programming.

This minitrack will bring together leading academic researchers and MDD tool builders. It will provide a forum for discussion on the state-of-the-art and innovations in MDD technologies. The minitrack will explore the capabilities of existing MDD tools, and describe successful usage of MDD in industry. By understanding the capabilities and limitations of the state-of-the-art, the minitrack will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on how MDD tools can incorporate new features from the research community to produce the next-generation of MDD technologies.

The topics of the mini track will include but not limited to:

• Tools for requirements modeling and traceability in MDD

• Approaches for variability modeling and software product lines

• Tools for modeling software architectures, components and services

• Case studies and experience reports describing the advantages and disadvantages of MDD

• Domain specific modeling in vertical domains (business specific domains)

• Best modeling practices for cross-cutting concerns, meta-models, and model integration

• Model transformation, code generation and model configuration technologies

• Model verification and validation

• Standardization issues in MDD

• MDD in the software development lifecycle

• Comparisons of different MDD approaches (e.g. MDA, DSL)

• MDD best practices

Submission

Authors may contact the minitrack co-chairs for expression of interests and content appropriateness at any time.  All papers must contain original material, not previously published or submitted for publication.

Formatting guidelines and submission instructions are now available. Abstract submission can use the same submission system. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages. All papers will be peer-reviewed by invited reviewers.

If you plan to apply for an extension, you must register an account in the submission system before 15th of June.
