STS'08: Software Transformation Systems Workshop http://www.program-transformation.org/Sts/STS08 part of the Seventh international conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE'08) http://www.gpce.org/ October 19-23 2008, Nashville, Tennessee colocated with OOPSLA'08 ________________________________________________________________________ Workshop Organisers * Magne Haveraaen, University of Bergen, Norway http://www.ii.uib.no/~magne/ * Jan Heering, CWI, Amsterdam, Netherlands http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jan/ * Eelco Visser, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands http://swerl.tudelft.nl/bin/view/EelcoVisser Workshop schedule: * 2 page position paper submission deadline: August 1, 2008 * Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2008 * Early registration: September 11, 2008 * Workshop: Wednesday October 22, 2008 Motivation ---------- Modern modelling and software development needs software support beyond that of simple editors and compilers. Often a model or software piece can be generated from (fragments) of existing models or high level codes. Software transformation systems are tools which are built for such transformations. They range from specific tools for one purpose, via simple pattern matching systems, to general transformation systems which are easily programmed to do any reasonable transformation. Thus the more general tools may be treated as meta-tools for generative programming. They are currently playing a significant role in integrated development environments (IDEs, e.g., Eclipse) and model driven engineering (MDE). Following on the success of STS'04 and STS'06, this workshop is once again designed to bring together people working on software transformation systems and those with an interest in software transformation systems as a tool. The workshop will this time to some extent focus on the relationship between software transformation technologies and related technologies such as reflection (supported, e.g., by Java), (template) meta-programming (supported by C++), and staged programming languages. We also want to look at the applications of transformation tools in IDEs and MDE. Workshop format --------------- The workshop will have a small number of participants, around 20, selected on the basis of short position papers submitted to the organisers. The aim is to let people with different perspectives meet in order to allow fruitful interaction. Submission of intent to participate ----------------------------------- If you find this workshop interesting you should send an e-mail to sts08(a)ii.uib.no with your intent to participate and your area of expertise/interest. Include a 2 page position paper if you want to give a presentation. Space may be limited at the workshop, and preregistered participants will be given priority. All material must be received by the deadline. We prefer plain ISO or UTF-8 documents (txt), but latex (only use standard packages) and pdf formats are also acceptable. -- http://www.program-transformation.org/Sts/STS08

------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------ WORKSHOP Models(a)run.time http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/bencomo/MRT At the ACM/IEEE 11th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems MODELS'08, 28 September - 3 October, Toulouse, France ********************************************************************** Important Dates: Submission deadline: Wednesday August 13th Notification of acceptance: September 7th (or before early registration deadline at MODELS08) Workshop at MODELS: Tuesday 30th September Program Committee Betty Cheng Michigan State University, USA Fabio M. Costa Federal University of Goias, Brazil Anthony Finkelstein UCL, UK Jeff Gray UAB, USA Oystein Haugen SINTEF, Norway Jozef Hooman ESI, The Netherlands Gang Huang Peking University, China Paola Inverardi University of L'Aquila P.F.Linington University of Kent, UK Jean-Marc Jezequel Triskell Team,IRISA, France Rui Silva Moreira UFP, INESC Porto, Portugal Andrey Nechypurenko Siemens, Germany Oscar Nierstrasz University of Berne Eugenio Scalise UCV, Venezuela Arnor Solberg SINTEF, Norway Thaís Vasconcelos Batista UFRN, Brazil Steffen Zschaler T.U. Dresden, Germany Organizing Committee Nelly Bencomo(main contact), Gordon Blair, Lancaster University, UK Robert France, Colorado State University, USA Freddy Munoz, INRIA, France Goal The goal of this workshop is to look at issues related to developing appropriate model-driven approaches to monitoring and managing the execution of systems. This is the first workshop to address this theme and its treatment requires the bringing together of a variety of communities including researchers working on model-driven software development, software architectures, reflection (including for example architectural reflection), and autonomic and self healing systems. Discussions in the workshop will address questions such as: What should a runtime model look like? How can the models be maintained at runtime? What are the best approaches to follow when developing runtime models? Workshop Format The workshop participants will be selected based on their experience and ideas related to this new and emerging field. You are invited to apply for attendance by sending a full-paper (8-10 pages) or a short paper (2-4 pages) in PDF or PS The paper must conform to the Springer LNCS formatting guidelines: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs (it is the same format of the Conference, see conference website for more information). Submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 PC members. The authors will be notified about acceptance before the MoDELS 2008 early registration deadline. Candidates for best papers can be just taken from the category of full-papers. A primary deliverable of the workshop is a report that clearly outlines (1) the research issues and challenges in terms of specific research problems in the area, and (2) a synopsis of existing model- based solutions that target some well-defined aspect of monitoring and managing the execution of systems. Potential attendees are strongly encouraged to submit position papers that clearly identify research issues and challenges, present techniques that address well-defined problems in the area, and are supported by small demos. The first part of the workshop will focus on identifying the research issues and challenges and framing an initial set of research questions. The second part of the workshop will focus on discussing approaches for tackling the problems; in particular, the integration of runtime models with model-driven development approaches will be discussed. The workshop aims to: - Integrate and combine research ideas from the areas cited above. - Provide a "state-of-the-research" assessment expressed in terms of research issues, challenges, and accomplishments. This assessment can be used to guide research in the area. - Continue to build a network of researchers in this area, building on the initial event help last year. - Plan and promote further events on these topics. We strongly encourage authors to address the following topics. Labelled research topics with (*) are crucially important: - What a runtime model looks like and how does it evolve? (*) - How can runtime models be maintained? (*) - How can runtime models be validated? - What abstractions over runtime phenomena are useful? - How are the abstractions tied to the types of adaptations supported? (*) - How do these abstractions evolve over time? (*) - Are new abstractions created during runtime? (*) - How are the causal relationships with executing code realized? (*) - What is the role of reflection in maintaining the causal connection between models and run-time system? - The relevance and suitability of different model-driven approaches to monitoring and managing systems during runtime - Examples of how models can be used to validate and verify the behaviour of the system at runtime (*) - Compatibility (or tension) between different model-driven approaches - How do models at other phases of the software engineering lifecycle relate to the corresponding run-time models? - Small demos and tools that support the use of models(a)run.time (*) -- Per Ardua Ad Astra -- Freddy Oersted Mun~oz Ramirez Phone: +33 299 847 298 Ph.D. in Computer Science student e-mail: freddy.munoz(a)irisa.fr IRISA Rennes cedex, France web: http://freddy.cellcore.org
