                        CALL FOR PAPERS

  5th International Workshop on Model-based Methodologies for
         Pervasive and Embedded Software (MOMPES 2008)

                http://www.di.uminho.pt/mompes

                          within the 
 11th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software 
                         (ETAPS 2008)
                       Budapest - Hungary
                        April 5, 2008


******************************************************************
SCOPE

Model Based Development (MBD) comprises approaches to software
development, which rely on modelling and the systematic transition
from models to executable code. This workshop focuses on the
theoretical and practical aspects related with the adoption of MBD
methodologies (notation, process, methods, and tools) for supporting
the construction of software for pervasive and embedded systems.
Suggested areas of interest in the workshop include, but are not
restricted to:
- Meta-modelling and Tools
- Feature Modelling
- Modelling of Non-Functional  Requirements
- Model-based Architectures
- Model Transformation and Code Generation
- Software Process, Product Lines and Frameworks
- Model-based Analysis, Testing and Verification
- Model-Based Optimization, Design Spaces and Design Rules
- Models for Adaptable and Predictable System Quality
- Models for Adaptive System Infrastructure
- Models for Ultra-Large Scale Systems
- Issues In Socio-Technical Ecosystems
- Case Studies and Demonstration Cases

******************************************************************
PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are requested to submit a 10-page PDF English version
(including figures, references, and appendices) of their papers in
IEEE Computer Society Press 2-column format available from
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/instruct.pdf.
Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least 3 PC members. Authors
of accepted papers must sign the IEEE copyright form. Full papers
exceeding 10 pages will be charged for pages in excess.
At least one author of each accepted submission must register and
present the paper at the workshop. 
Submissions by email to mompes@di.uminho.pt.

PROCEEDINGS

Proceedings containing accepted regular papers and invited papers
are planned to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
Best papers of MOMPES 2008 will be considered for publication in
extended and revised form in a special issue of the Springer's
journal of Innovations in Systems and Software Engineering.
