Models in Software Engineering

Following the tradition of previous instances of the MoDELS conference series, 11 workshops and two symposia were hosted in 2007. These satellite events complemented the main conference by providing room for important subject areas and enabling a high degree of interactivity. The selection of the workshops was organized like in former instances of the MoDELS conference series by a Workshop Selection Committee. The following well-known experts agreed to serve on this committee: Gabor Karsai, Vanderbilt University, USA Thomas Kuhne, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany Jochen Kuster , IBM Research Zurich, Switzerland Henry Muccini, University of L Aquila, Italy Sebastian Uchitel, Imperial College London, UK Theworkshopsprovidedcollaborativeforumsforparticulartopics.Theyenabled a group of participants to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to c- duct intensive discussions, or to coordinate e?orts between representatives of a technical community. They served as forums for lively discussion of innovative ideas, recent progress, or practical experience on model-driven engineering for speci?c aspects, speci?c problems, or domain-speci?c needs. As in previous editions, there were a Doctoral Symposium and an Edu- tors Symposium. The Doctoral Symposium provided speci?c support for PhD students to discuss their work and receive useful guidance for the completion of their dissertation research. The Educators Symposium addressed how to e- cate students as well as practitioners to move from traditional thinking to an engineering approach based on models.
