2nd International Workshop on Industrial Model-Driven Development
Processes and Practices (i.MD²P² 2015)
http://md2p2.lip6.fr [1]


Ottawa, Canada September 29, 2015
MODELS 2015 satellite event

Model-driven engineering emphasizes the use of models for a higher
productivity, better quality and lower maintenance cost. However, MDE
has to be integrated into a suitable, perhaps previously existing
development process; otherwise MDE cannot deliver its goals, and is
unlikely to be adopted in the first place. This workshop aims at
investigating how an MDE approach that includes the synthesis of
executable systems from models or the use of abstract languages, such as
UML, Simulink, or DSLs can be integrated in a development process.

*Edition's focus:* This year's i.MD²P² edition has a special focus
on industry-research collaborations for development and
process-integration of MDE technologies. Thus, we especially welcome
contributions from close industry research-collaborations, targeting at
1) industrial methods for the development of languages, such as DSMLs,
or automation support and 2) the question how such methods ensure the
seamless integration of the developed technologies into the company's
legacy process.

One objective of MD²P² workshop series is to provide a forum for
research on the impact of MDE approaches on industrial development
processes. This can cover systematic investigations of the mechanisms
that can drive impacts from MDE approaches on development processes and
correspondingly constraints on MDE approaches that are implicitly
defined by development processes. Further, guidelines, methods, or tools
that support practitioners in reusing or adapting development processes
when MDE is introduced are welcome. Topics to be addressed can be (but
are not limited to):
  - Investigations of the question, what aspects of a process are
affected by MDE: How are different stakeholders integrated in the
modeling activities?  Can modeling tasks be split over multiple roles
and phases?  Is there a need to adapt test and quality assurance
activities in development processes, such that the diverse modeling
artifacts are covered appropriately? When is it necessary or beneficial
to adapt the number of development process phases or to change the
frequency of iterations?
  - Synergies: How can the combination with an MDE approach increase (or
decrease) the benefits of a process? How can the choice or adaptation of
a process increase (or decrease) the benefits of an MDE approach?
  - Guidelines and methods that support practitioners in reusing or
adapting development processes when MDE
  - Co-maturation of MDE and development processes
  - Tool support for process integration of MDE
  - Feedback on combining/using MDE in traditional processes
  - Experiences and approaches for migrating to MDE

The MD²P² workshop series further provides a forum for researchers and
practitioners to exchange and discuss experiences on how the use of MDE
affects the applied development process. Papers presenting case studies
on both, (1) long running use of MDE in context of maturing or steady
development processes and (2) on the introduction of MDE, are highly
welcome. Aspects to be addressed in the case studies are for example:
  - Which stakeholders are involved in modeling tasks? Which stakeholders
are not affected by the integration of MDE?
  - Which (modeling) artifacts are subject to quality assurance
activities, e.g. reviews?
  - Are development process phases adapted? Does the number or frequency
of iterations change?
  - Are there empirical evidences that intended MDE effects occur, e.g.
whether front-loading reduces the number of errors in later phases?

Submitted papers (maximum 10 pages) must conform to the Springer LNCS
formatting guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs [2]).
Accepted papers will be published in an edition of CEUR
(http://ceur-ws.org/ [3]).
