COMMitMDE 2018 - 3rd Int. Workshop on Collaborative Modelling in MDE @MODELS 2018

COMMitMDE 2018


Social Sciences (General)



Due to the increasing size and complexity of software systems, modelling in isolation is no longer an option and collaborative modeling is gaining a growing interest in both academia and industry. However, several research challenges remain open, including scalability, support for multi-user modeling environments, model versioning, migration, comparison, merging, conflict management, security and IP management. Recently, scientific research contributions related to collaborative model-driven software engineering (MDSE) are emerging, each of them focusing on different and specific aspects of collaboration and modelling. Still, many of these studies are scattered across multiple research areas such as software engineering, model-driven engineering, model integrated computing, model-driven security management, etc.
The goal of this third edition of the COMMitMDE workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore (i) the impact of collaborative SE methods and principles on MDE practices and (ii) how MDE methods and techniques can support collaborative software engineering activities. Also, the workshop aims at assessing the state of the research and practice on Collaborative MDE, creating new synergies between tool vendors, researchers, and practitioners, informing the community about the new means for collaborative MDE, and identifying needs and research gaps in the collaborative MDE area.
COMMitMDE 2018 seeks contributions in topics, such as:
• Collaborative MDE design
• Requirements engineering with collaborative MDE
• Meta-model level collaboration
• Multi-view collaborative MDE
• The role of SVN and GitHub in collaborative modeling
• Web-based model editing
• Collaborative MDE practices
• Security and IP management
• Academic and industrial needs in collaborative MDE
• Case Studies and Experience reports
The submission and review process will be managed using EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=commitmde2018). Submissions must follow the IEEE formatting guidelines. All accepted papers will be published in a CEUR volume.
