Motivation
The growing size and complexity of modern systems is one of the major reasons for the adaptation of model-based development and testing techniques. There is an increase in academic and industrial interest in model-based and model-driven development in recent years. However, the rapid evolution of systems due to changing requirements and technological advancements is still a challenge for practitioners and researchers. The goal of this workshop is to identify the key challenges, research questions and ideas for the support of evolution in software development and testing. We intend to bring together the industrial practitioners and academic researchers to exchange their experiences and ideas.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Architectural design methods supporting evolution and evolvability
- Model-driven software evolution and maintenance
- Traceability from requirements models to design and test models
- Model-based reengineering and refactoring for evolution support
- Model comparison and impact analysis
- Model transformation for test generation
- Model-based testing, validation and verification
- Model-based test specification
- Test model evolution and regression testing
- Model-based test processes
- Evolution support for system management
- Tool support for model-based development and testing
- Case studies and application of model-based development and testing
- Experiences of using models and relating models with their applications in the real-world development process.
History
The workshop continues a series of successful workshops on software evolution on the national level: Object-orientation, Reengineering and Architecture ORA2006 and ORA2007, Model-driven Software architecture - Evolution, Integration and Migration MSEIM 2008 and MSEIM 2009. We want to extend the series on an international level to integrate it with a wider community.
Workshop Format
To enable interaction and discussion between the participants, the workshop will be held in two parts. First, the full papers and invited talks will be presented including a short discussion after each presentation. In the second part, short position statements will be given, to initiate a collaborative discussion with all attendees.
Paper Publication
The accepted papers will be published as online proceedings by CEUR as well as in the IWK2010 conference proceedings. Furthermore, they will be indexed by ACM, DBLP, and by http://academic.research.microsoft.com/.
