Workshop Overview
The purpose of this 2-day workshop is to study and advance the effective use of models in the engineering of software systems. In particular, we are interested in the exchange of experiences and innovative technical ideas related to modeling. Engineers have used models to manage complexity for centuries, and there is a growing body of work on the use of models to manage inherent problem and solution complexity in software development. The use of software models will become more prevalent as methodologies and tools that manipulate them at various levels of abstraction become available. A secondary goal of the workshop is to further promote cross-fertilization between the modeling communities (e.g., MODELS) and software-engineering communities.
We take a broad view of what models are and how they are used, including
- Exploration: Models are used to explore and learn about the problem to be solved, where the “problem” can be, for example, requirements identification, system specification, system or component design, complex protocol or algorithm design.
- Communication: Communication models are used to document software decisions (e.g., requirements, designs, and deployment decisions). Support for downstream activities: We use software models to answer questions or check properties (e.g., correctness, fitness for use) of the modeled artifact, to generate other artifacts, or to configure existing systems.
- Support for downstream activities: We use software models to answer questions or check properties (e.g., correctness, fitness for use) of the modeled artifact, to generate other artifacts, or to configure existing systems.
- Configurability and adaptation: We use models at runtime to configure the system, to adapt it to changed needs of the users. A model of the environment also allows a system to capture its knowledge about the environment it controls or communicates with.
Workshop activities will focus on analyzing successful and unsuccessful applications of software modeling techniques to gain insights into challenging modeling problems, including: (1) identifying, describing, and using appropriate abstractions, (2) supporting incremental, iterative development through the use of appropriate model composition, transformation and other model manipulation operators, and (3) automated analysis of possibly large and possibly incomplete models to determine the presence or absence of desired and undesired properties.
Topics of interest include
- Modeling notations and tools
- Metamodeling
- Abstractions and modeling methodologies
- Model-based analysis and synthesis
- Model transformation and composition
- Model evaluation
- Model management
- Extracting models from software artifacts (e.g., program understanding)
- Use of models for downstream activities (e.g., generating test cases, using models at runtime)
- Modeling the systems environment
- Models at runtime (e.g. for software adaptation)
- Empirical studies
- Domain-specific modeling
- Variability management using models
- Model reuse
- Other uses of modeling

Session Chair: Joanne Atlee
- Why We Model: Using MBD Effectively in Critical Domains
Michael Whalen, University of Minnesota, USA
Model-Based Development (MBD) is a paradigm in which software and systems development are focused on high-level executable models of the system to be fielded. These models allow a wide range of exploration and analysis including high-fidelity simulation, test-case generation, and even proofs to be performed at low cost early in development cycles. MBD is seeing widespread adoption in a variety of domains, especially in critical systems such as aerospace and medical devices. In this talk, I describe how to use model-based development effectively in the development of critical software, using examples from the aerospace domain. I focus on V&V of models, as this is an important cost driver for critical systems, and discuss benefits of using automated verification techniques for both unit testing to "unit proving". I also describe several possible pitfalls that can occur when adopting model-based development at scale and steps to take to avoid them.

- Research-Based Innovation in Model-Driven Engineering: Project Experience and Lessons Learned
Lionel Briand, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Engineering research needs to be informed by practice to be relevant and have impact, and industrial innovation relies on research to fill the gaps in knowledge and to pave the way for new tools, technologies, and services. With a focus on Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), this talk will report on my experience from a number of recent successful research projects conducted in various industry sectors. I will take a retrospective approach to examine the way I collaborated with the industry partners and elaborate on the decisions that I believe contributed to the effectiveness of the collaborations. I will then summarise the lessons learned from this experience and illustrate these lessons using examples from the projects.

4:30 Session #8: Panel </b> Question: What should be the focus of software modeling research over the next 10 years?
Session Chair: Robert France
- Panelists: Lionel Briand, Connie Heitmeyer, Richard Paige, Michael Whalen
- Panel Appetizer:
- A question that is often asked of researchers in the software modeling community is: "What is the problem addressed by researchers in the software modeling community?". The answer is typically a variant of the following: “To significantly reduce the time, cost, and effort required to develop complex software-intensive system that meet stringent quality requirements through the use of models that are fit-for-purpose”. This is still the focus of many research programs, but we’re also witnessing a broadening of the target problems to include not only development problems, but problems that occur throughout the lifetime of a complex system; from conception to retirement. For example, there is emerging work on the use of models to manage software at runtime (sometimes referred to as models@run.time). The concern space targeted by software modeling researchers is thus evolving to encompass a wider range of problems that occur in the lifecycle of complex systems, as it should. One can envisage a time when models become the primary means for managing work throughout a software system’s lifetime.
- This is not to say that development concerns (e.g., requirements, architecture, detailed design concerns) no longer presents challenges to software modeling researchers. It is evident, that new and emerging types of software systems present good opportunities for the use of modeling techniques, and, at the same time, pose significant challenges to the software modeling community. For example, developing systems that integrate mechanical, software and electrical engineering subsystems (e.g., cyberphysical systems) is currently very challenging. Developers in the mechanical, electrical and software engineering spaces rely on different theories and use different development techniques and processes. The challenge is to develop good bridges across these theories and practices. Cloud systems will soon be integrated with non-cloud-based systems, e.g. for storage and handling of masses of sensor data of various sources (car, home, body, factory, energy, city, state and governance), and will have an impact on systems that connect to the Internet (“Internet of things”). There is thus a need to investigate ways in which cloud-based concerns can be addressed in models.
- In this panel, we ask the panelists to reflect on the current state of software modeling research and identify some of the major challenges that should be the focus of research over the next 10 years. Panelists can choose to delve into 1 challenge or to give an overview of 3 to 5 challenges.
Important Dates
March 7, 2013 | Camera-ready papers due |
May 18th - 19th, 2013 | Workshop takes place @ ICSE |
Workshop Format
The workshop will be highly interactive and focused on the sharing of ideas and on progressing towards a shared vision of research goals. Included in the program will be paper presentations, open discussions, at least one panel discussion, posters, and a keynote talk. Paper presentations will be grouped into sessions of three 20-minute presentations, with 30 minutes of discussion at the end of each session. Our goal is not to create a mini-conference and all attendees will also have an opportunity to discuss topics emerging from the collective presentations.
Submission Guidelines
Prospective participants are invited to submit a 4-6 page position or technical paper. Workshop papers must follow the ICSE 2013 Format and Submission Guideline. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee and the organizing committee for quality and relevance. Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings and will be entered into the ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries.
EasyChair will be used to manage the submission review process. The submission site is here: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mise2013
