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



Model Driven Architecture (MDA, http://www.omg.org/mda) separates
the specification of system functionality from the specification of the
implementation on a specific platform. It is aimed at making the
software assets more resilient to changes caused by the emerging
technologies and makes the role of modeling and models in the current
software development much more important. The MDA initiative covers a wide
spectrum of research areas; some of them are already well established and
some are newly emerged. Further efforts are required to bring them into a
coherent approach, based on open standards and supported by matured 
tools and
techniques. The goal of this working conference is to understand the 
foundations,
to analyze the state of-the-art, to identify problems and solutions, to 
outline
future research directions and to share experience in applying MDA
techniques and tools.



Topics of Interest

* Modelling and MDA
  - Formal modelling of aspects of MDA
  - Ontologies and domain-specific models
  - Meta modeling and meta models for PIMs and PSMs
  - Model composition
  - MDA profiles
* MDA development process
  - Aspect-oriented modeling and MDA
  - MDA and Agile - a contradition?
  - Variability  in MDA
* MDA technologies (UML, OCL, XMI)
  - Model transformations: foundations and heuristics
  - Graph rewrite systems for MDA
  - Executability of MDA models
  - Code generation based on UML profiles
  - Roundtrip Engineering and its automation
* Model analysis in MDA
  - Model validation and model checking
* MDA tools
* Application areas
  - MDA for component platforms, such as EJB or .NET
* Experience reports
* Case studies

Special session MDA and the Semantic Web
* MDA for Web Services
* Ontologies and their relation to profiles
* OCL vs. OWL - the big competition?
* Executable logic specifications

Special session  MDA for embedded and real-time systems (Supported by 
HIDOORS EU IST project)
* MDA for embedded and real-time systems
* Profiles for embedded and real-time systems
* Development processes for MDA in this domain



Submission Details

Two types of papers are expected: short position papers (no longer than 4
pages) and full papers on research and experience (no longer than 15 
pages).
Accepted short and full papers will be included in a technical
report available at the working conference.

It is planned to publish the full papers and selected short papers after 
the
working conference in an LNCS volume from Springer. Preferably, papers 
should
respect the LNCS format.



Important Dates

Submission April 17, 2004
Notification of Acceptance: May 17, 2004
Camera-ready copy Due: May 31, 2004
Workshop Date: June 21-22, 2004.

You can combine the workshop easily with WICSA-4
(June 12-14) and Ecoop 2004 (June 14-18), both located in Oslo.
