Call for papers

The workshop aims to provide a forum to present and discuss bleeding-edge research contributions related to model evolution, and to provide visibility to novel technical solutions, early new ideas, and outside-the-box approaches.

The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• Foundations
  • Theories, methods, and tools for (meta-)model evolution
  • Co-evolution across multiple meta-levels (incl. instance and data levels)
• Correctness and quality aspects
  • Correctness and consistency concerns of model evolution
  • Verification and validation of evolving MDE artifacts
• Applications
  • Software migration, reconstruction, reuse, and repurposing
  • Evolution of heterogeneous systems, e.g., CPS and digital twins, including the (co-)evolution of virtual and physical artifacts and infrastructure
• Empirical works, industry reports, patterns and catalogs, training and education in the area of model evolution

We solicit three types of papers.

1. Full research papers (max. 10 pages): novel research contributions
2. Position papers (max. 5 pages), including:
   1. Work in progress: preliminary results especially by young researchers;
   2. Vision papers: new visions and strategic ideas;
   3. Industry experience reports.
3. 3. Tool papers (max. 5 pages): experience with tools for model-based software evolution and evolution issues encountered in model-based development.

All submitted papers must adhere to the ACM Conference format, and submitted electronically through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=me20240 ). LaTeX users must use the provided acmart.cls and ACM-Reference-Format.bst without modification, enable the conference format in the preamble of the document (i.e., \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}), and use the ACM reference format for the bibliography (i.e., \bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}). The review option adds line numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their comments. All submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. Papers submitted to the workshop should have at least 5 pages and 10 pages for full papers following the same style and format of the main tracks of the Conference. Submissions that do not adhere to the formatting instructions may be desk-rejected without review.
