14th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications

ECMFA 2018


Software Systems



ECMFA has two distinct Paper Tracks: one for research papers dealing with the foundations for MBE, and one for industrial/applications papers dealing with the applications of MBE, including experience reports on MBE tools.
Research Papers
In this track, we are soliciting papers presenting original research on all aspects of MBE. Research papers will be evaluated based on their suitability for the conference, originality, and technical soundness. They require novel and complete research work supported by adequate evaluation results. Typical topics of interest include, among others:
Foundations of (Meta)modelling
Domain Specific Modelling Languages and Language Workbenches
Model Reasoning, Testing and Validation
Model Transformation, Code Generation and Reverse Engineering
Model Execution and Simulation
Model Management aspects such as (Co-)Evolution, Consistency, Synchronization
Model-Based Engineering Environments and Tool Chains
Foundations of Requirements Modelling, Architecture Modelling, Platform Modelling
Foundations of Quality Aspects and Modelling non-functional System Properties
Scalability of MBE techniques
Collaborative Modeling
Industrial Papers
In this track, we are soliciting papers representing views, innovations and experiences of industrial players in applying or supporting MBE. In particular, we are looking for papers that set requirements on the foundations, methods, and tools for MBE. We are also seeking experience reports or case studies on the application, successes or current shortcomings of MBE. Quantitative results reflecting industrial experience are particularly appreciated. All application areas of MBE are welcome including but not limited to any of the following:
MBE for Large and Complex Industrial Systems
MBE for Safety-Critical Systems
MBE for Cyber-Physical Systems
MBE for Software and Business Process Modelling
MBE Applications in Transportation, Health Care, Cloud & Mobile computing, etc.
Model-Based Integration and Simulation
Model-Based System Analysis
Application of Modeling Standards
Comparative Studies of MBE Methods and Tools
Metrics for MBE Development
MBE Training
