Educators' Symposium

Goals

Modeling Systems plays an important role in today's software development and evolution. Modeling provides goal-oriented abstractions in all phases of software development, which requires deep knowledge on modeling techniques and broad experiences in applying these techniques. Today, Software Engineering is supported by various modeling techniques, providing modeling languages, modeling language definition technologies, and model transformation technologies. Industry and academia successfully realized expressive modeling and meta modeling languages and mature tools for the practical application.

The Educators' Symposium at MODELS focusses on discussing teaching these technologies to software engineers at universities and software industries. Although most computer science curricula include some education in modeling technologies and therefore provide the basic building blocks for modeling, meta modeling, and model transformation, the whole spectrum of modeling in software engineering is rarely captured.

Doctoral Symposium

Goals

The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a forum in which PhD students can present their work in progress and to foster the role of MODELS as a premier venue for research in model-driven engineering. The symposium aims to support students by providing independent and constructive feedback about their already completed and, more importantly, planned research work. The symposium will be accompanied by prominent professors in the field of model-driven engineering who will actively participate in critical discussions. The workshop lasts for a whole day and will be able to accommodate 6 to 8 students.
