<pre> CALL FOR PAPERS The Pragmatics of OCL and other textual specification languages MODELS'2009 Workshop Denver, USA http://modeling-languages.com/events/OCLWorkshop2009/index.html ======================================================================= In recent years, MDA and associated MDE methodologies, approaches and languages (like QVT) emphasized the role that OCL has to play in MDE development. Moreover, the modeling community is continuously pushing forward the OCL, far beyond its initial requirements as a precise modeling language complementing UML specifications. Now, OCL is used in quite different applications domains (e.g., domain-specific languages, web semantics) and for various purposes (e.g., model verification and validation, code generation, test-driven development, transformations). This workshop will focus on the challenges of using OCL on these new domains and how the language needs to evolve to be successfully applied on them. In particular, we are interested in discussing alternative notations/representations for OCL that simplify its application, new textual/graphical languages that can complement/replace OCL, new ways of writing OCL expressions (e.g., patterns, templates and libraries), sharing OCL expressions and OCL know-how, new domain-dependent evaluation and optimization strategies, mappings from OCL to other languages and formalisms (Java, SQL, Alloy, Maude, constraint programming, ...) and, of course, the tools that will make all of this possible. In addition, all other aspects that may facilitate a wider adoption and support of OCL or its usability are also welcome. Topics ------ Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - New and/or succesful applications of the OCL - Mappings between OCL and other languages/formalisms (e.g., Java, SQL, Alloy, Maude, constraint programming) - New algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations for OCL for * validation, verification, and testing, * model transformation and code generation, * metamodeling/DSLs, * query and constraint specifications - Alternative graphical/textual notations for OCL - Evolution, transformation and simplification of OCL expressions - Libraries, templates and patterns for OCL - Complexity results for the OCL language - Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating OCL tools and algorithms - Case studies on industrial applications of OCL - Experience reports: * usage of OCL and OCL tools in complex domains, * usability of the OCL and of the OCL tools for end-users - Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of OCL - Innovative OCL tools Venue ----- The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS/UML 2009 Conference in Denver, USA. It continues the series of OCL workshops held at previous UML/MODELS conferences: York (2000), Toronto (2001), San Francisco (2003), Lisbon (2004), Montego Bay (2005), Genova (2006), Nashville (2007) and Toulouse (2008). Similar to its predecessors, the workshop addresses both people from academia and industry. The aim is to provide a forum for exchanging views on OCL and OCL tools wrt. the visions of MDA and MDE, languages and methodologies. Furthermore, the workshop calls out to research groups working on important research domains like Semantic Web, Domain-Specific Languags or Business Process Modeling to consider the usage of OCL and to specify OCL tools functionalities and features needed. Workshop Format --------------- The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions. Submissions ----------- Short papers (up to 5 pages) and full papers (up to 15 pages) can be submitted to the workshop. All papers must follow LNCS style guidelines and be uploaded to the Submission system (EasyChair): http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl09 The program committee will review the submissions (minimum 2 reviews per paper) and select papers according to their relevance and interest for discussions that will take place at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published at http://www.metamodel.com and http://www-st.inf.tu-dresden.de/ocl/ (the OCL Portal). As in previous editions, it is planned that polished versions of accepted papers will be published in cooperation with an international publisher, e.g., the Electronic Communications of the EASST, eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de. Important Dates --------------- Paper submission: July 26, 2009 (submit title and abstract as soon as possible to start the biding process) Author notification: August 28, 2009 Camera-ready papers: September 20, 2009 Organisers ---------- Jordi Cabot, Open University of Catalonia, Spain, jcabot@acm.org (primary contact) Joanna Chimiak-Opoka, University of Innsbruck, Austria, joanna.opoka@uibk.ac.at Frederic Jouault, INRIA, frederic.jouault@inria.fr Martin Gogolla, University of Bremen, Germany, gogolla@informatik.uni-bremen.de Alexander Knapp, University of Augsburg, Germany, knapp@informatik.uni-augsburg.de Programme Committee ------------------- Thomas Baar, Tech@Spree, Germany Achim Brucker, SAP, Germany Manuel Clavel, IMDEA Software Institute, Spain Dan Chiorean, University of Cluj, Romania Tony Clark, Thames Valley University, UK Birgit Demuth, Technical University of Dresden, Germany Remco Dijkman, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Robert France, University of Fort Collins, USA Heinrich Hussmann, University of Munich, Germany Tihamer Levendovszky, Vanderbilt University, USA Richard Mitchell, Inferdata, UK Richard Paige, University of York, UK Mark Richters, Astrium Space Transportation, Germany Shane Sendall, IBM, Switzerland Pieter Van Gorp, University of Eindhoven Burkhart Wolff, LRI, University Paris-Sud, France Steffen Zschaler, Lancaster University, UK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ </pre>This CfP was obtained from [http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=6188&amp;copyownerid=2 WikiCFP]
