Dresden, Germany<br><br>Organizing Committee<br>Nelly Bencomo(main contact), Gordon Blair, Lancaster University, UK<br>Robert France, Colorado State University, USA<br>Freddy Munoz, INRIA, France<br><br>Goal<br>The goal of this workshop is to look at issues related to developing<br>appropriate model-driven approaches to monitoring and managing the execution<br>of systems. This is the first workshop to address this theme and its<br>treatment requires the bringing together of a variety of communities<br>including researchers working on model-driven software development, software<br>architectures, reflection (including for example architectural reflection),<br>and autonomic and self healing systems. Discussions in the workshop will<br>address questions such as: What should a runtime model look like? How can<br>the models be maintained at runtime? What are the best approaches to follow<br>when developing runtime models? <br><br>Workshop Format<br><br>The workshop participants will be selected based on their experience and<br>ideas related to this new and emerging field. You are invited to apply for<br>attendance by sending a full-paper (8-10 pages) or a short paper (2-4 pages)<br>in PDF or PS The paper must conform to the Springer LNCS formatting<br>guidelines: <a href="http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs">http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs</a> (it is the same format of<br>the Conference, see conference website for more information). Submissions<br>will be reviewed by at least 3 PC members. The authors will be notified<br>about acceptance before the MoDELS 2008 early registration deadline.<br>Candidates for best papers can be just taken from the category of<br>full-papers. A primary deliverable of the workshop is a report that clearly<br>outlines (1) the research issues and challenges in terms of specific<br>research problems in the area, and (2) a synopsis of existing model-based<br>solutions that target some well-defined aspect of monitoring and managing<br>the execution of systems. Potential attendees are strongly encouraged to<br>submit position papers that clearly identify research issues and challenges,<br>present techniques that address well-defined problems in the area, and are<br>supported by small demos. The first part of the workshop will focus on<br>identifying the research issues and challenges and framing an initial set of<br>research questions. The second part of the workshop will focus on discussing<br>approaches for tackling the problems; in particular, the integration of<br>runtime models with model-driven development approaches will be discussed. <br><br>The workshop aims to:<br>- Integrate and combine research ideas from the areas cited above.<br>- Provide a "state-of-the-research" assessment expressed in terms of<br>research issues, challenges, and accomplishments. This assessment can be<br>used to guide research in the area.<br>- Continue to build a network of researchers in this area, building on the<br>initial event help last year.<br>- Plan and promote further events on these topics.<br>We strongly encourage authors to address the following topics. Labelled<br>research topics with (*) are crucially important:<br>- What a runtime model looks like and how does it evolve? (*)<br>- How can runtime models be maintained? (*)<br>- How can runtime models be validated?<br>- What abstractions over runtime phenomena are useful?<br>- How are the abstractions tied to the types of adaptations supported? (*)<br>- How do these abstractions evolve over time? (*)<br>- Are new abstractions created during runtime? (*)<br>- How are the causal relationships with executing code realized? (*)<br>- What is the role of reflection in maintaining the causal connection<br>between models and run-time system?<br>- The relevance and suitability of different model-driven approaches to<br>monitoring and managing systems during runtime<br>- Examples of how models can be used to validate and verify the behaviour of<br>the system at runtime (*)<br>- Compatibility (or tension) between different model-driven approaches<br>- How do models at other phases of the software engineering lifecycle relate<br>to the corresponding run-time models?<br>- Small demos and tools that support the use of <a href="mailto:models@run.time">models@run.time</a> (*)<div><br></div><div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
