Models in Software Engineering : Workshops and Symposia at MODELS 2008, Toulouse, France, September 28 - October 3, 2008. Reports and Revised Selected Papers

Following the tradition of previous editions of the MODELS conference, many satellite events were organized in co-location with the MODELS conference in Toulouse in 2008: 12 workshops, 3 symposia, 9 tutorials, a poster session, and a tools exhibition. The selection of the workshops was organized by a Workshop Selection Committee, which consisted of the following experts: - Michel R. V. Chaudron, Leiden University, The Netherlands (Chair) - Jochen Kuster ¨ , IBM Research Zurich, Switzerland - Henry Muccini, University of L’Aquila, Italy - Holger Giese, Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Germany - Hans Vangheluwe, McGill University, Canada Some workshops have been running for several years as MODELS satellite events, but each year some workshops end. Furthermore, there are always new developments,and hence there is roomfor new workshops. Therefore,the Wo- shop Selection Committee very much welcomes new proposals. The workshops enabled groups of participants to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to conduct 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 doma- speci?c needs. The three symposia this year were: the Doctoral Symposium, the Educators’ Symposium, and the Research Projects Symposium. The Doctoral Symposium provided speci?c support for PhD students to discuss their work and receive guidance for the completion of their dissertation research.
