                         CALL FOR PAPERS

    6th International Workshop on Model-based Methodologies for
          Pervasive and Embedded Software (MOMPES 2009)

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

                     within the ICSE 2009
     (31st International Conference on Software Engineering)
                      Vancouver - Canada
                         May 16, 2009

******************************************************************
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

The official language is English.
Authors are requested to submit a PDF version of their papers in
the official ICSE 09 format.
