                        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
