8th IEEE Workshop on Model-Based Development for Computer-Based Systems -
Covering Domain and Design Knowledge in Models

within the 18th IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Computer-Based Systems  (ECBS2011)

Part of the MBD Workshop Series

Program and Call for Participation

Goals and Topics

The needs for tool support or automation, for a comprehensive quality management and for mastering the complexity of computer-based systems constitute the main driving forces for model-based design approaches. An explicit modelling of design-related information is required to fulfil these needs. While structural and behavioural aspects can already be expressed adequately, the “soft” information for example on the semantics of functionality or on design decisions requires more research effort. The existing approaches and techniques do not yet satisfy all needs of practical application of model-based design. Current approaches on model-based development often focus on the solution-domain of the development and its technicalities, ignoring the issue of also covering the problem-domain aspects including implicit assumptions or rationales. Adequate modelling techniques must
to provide a practical application of model-based development.

This workshop focuses on the scientific and practical aspects of model-based development (models, processes, methods, and tools) for supporting the construction of computer based systems. Topics of the workshop include:

Schedule:

Workshop at ECBS2011:29 April 2011

To enable a maximum of interaction and discussion between the participants, the workshop will be held in two parts. First, the full papers are presented including a short discussion after each presentation. In the second part, short position statements are given, as introduction to a panel discussion by the speakers, to initiate a workshop discussion with all attendees.
