MOCS - Model-based development, Components and Services (Track)

Two of the major current trends in software engineering are: the emphasis given to the need of introducing modeling for dealing with the complexity of IT systems, and the increasingly central role of component-based and service-based paradigms in the development of software systems.

The idea advocated by model-based development is to develop systems starting from models, at different levels of abstraction, that are capable of expressing domain specific concepts in a way that is at the same time precise, intuitive, and machine-processable, so allowing automated manipulation and transformation. Because of these and other factors, the popularity of model-based development has steadily increased over the years, reaching various engineering disciplines, beside software development.

Component-based and service-based software engineering are development paradigms that promise to accelerate software development and to reduce costs by assembling systems from prefabricated software units (components and/or services).

By these approaches the development focus shifts from activities concerning the in-house custom design and implementation of the system components, to activities concerning the identification, selection, and composition of components services and offered by third parties.

The two fields outlined above are strictly intertwined and the main goal of this track is to provide a discussion forum where researchers and practitioners on model-based development, component-based and service-based software engineering can meet, disseminate and exchange ideas and problems, identify some of the key issues related to these topics, and explore together possible solutions and future works. For this reason we have merged two Euromicro SEAA tracks (CBSE & MDD) into a common one.

We encourage submissions of a theoretical nature as well as experience reports, from academia and especially from industry. Suggested areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• Model transformation and reengineering
• Model-based validation and verification
• Models in the system engineering process
• Model evolution and maintenance
• Quality assurance for models
• Tool support for model-based development

• Component-based and service-oriented architectures;
• Compositional reasoning techniques for component models and service-based architectures;
• Quality of components and services;
• Generation, adaptation and deployment of component-based and service-oriented systems;
• Specification, verification, testing and checking of component-based and service-oriented systems;
• Measurement, prediction and monitoring of component-based, distributed and service-oriented systems;
• Runtime support for components;

• Integrated tool chains and methods for modeling and building component-based services;
• Reverse engineering, modeling, and componentization of legacy code;
• Models, Components and services for dependable, real-time and embedded systems;
• Case studies and experience reports.
