The MODELS series of conferences is the premier venue for the exchange of innovative technical ideas
and experiences relating to model-driven approaches in the development of software-based systems.
Topics covered by the conference include domain-specific modelling languages, model-driven
engineering processes, model transformations, aspect-oriented modelling, verification and validation,
and modelling of applications in specific domaings (e.g., real-time systems).
Following the tradition of previous conferences, MODELS 2014 will host a number of workshops during
the three days before the main conference. The workshops will provide a collaborative forum for a group
of typically 15 to 30 participants to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to conduct intensive
discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate efforts between representatives of a technical
community. They are intended as a forum for lively discussion of innovative ideas, recent progress, or
practical experience on model-driven engineering for specific aspects, specific problems, or domain-
specific needs. Each workshop should provide a balanced distribution of its time for both presentation of
papers and discussions. We encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit proposals for highly-
interactive workshops focusing on areas related to modelling in general. Both research-oriented and
applied topics are welcome. The duration of each workshop is one day.
