-------------------------------------
The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) initiative of the OMG puts forward the idea
that future process development will be centered around models, thus keeping
application development and underlying platform technology as separate as
possible. The aspects influenced by the underlying platform technology concern
mainly non functional aspects and communication primitives.
The first significant result of the MDA paradigm for engineers is the
possibility of building application models that can be conveniently ported to
new, emerging technologies - implementation languages, middleware, etc.- with
minimal effort and risk in one hand, but also that can be analyzed either
directly or through a model transformation toward a specific formal
technological space in order to validate or/and verify real-time properties such
as for example schedulability.
In the area of DRES (distributed, Real-time and Embedded Systems), this
model-oriented trend is also very active and promising. But DRES are different
from general-purpose systems. The purpose of this workshop is to serve as an
opportunity to gather researchers and industrials in order to survey some
existing experiments related to modeling and model-based analysis of DRES.
Moreover in order to be able to exchange models with the aim to apply formal
validation tools and to achieve interoperability, it is important to have also a
common understanding of the semantics of the given notations. Other important
issues in the domain of real-time are methodology and modeling paradigms
allowing breaking down the complexity, and tools which are able to verify well
designed systems.
The MARTES workshop is a merge of two series of complementary workshops that
were dedicated to RT/E systems and UML and which had both taken place, amongst
others, as workshops associated with the UML conferences, the predecessor of
MODELS: SIVOES and SVERTS.
Topics:
======
- Modeling RT/E using modelling languages such as UML
o How to specify real-time requirements and characteristics
o How to enhance modelling languages to capture real time, embedded
and distributed aspects in a convenient manner
o Declarative versus operational real-time specifications
o Notations for defining the architecture of heterogeneous systems
o Behavior modeling
o RT/E platforms modeling, integration of scheduling aspects
- Semantic aspects of real-time in modelling languages
o Formal semantics, in particular, semantic integration of
heterogeneous systems
o Interpretations of annotations
o Executability of models
- Methods and tools for analysis of RT systems and components
o Ensure consistency of timing constraints throughout the system
o Validation of time and scheduling related properties
o Validation of functional properties of time dependent systems
Workshop Format
===============
This full-day workshop will consist of an introduction of the topic by
the workshop organizers, an invited presentation (to be determined),
presentations of accepted papers, and in depth discussion of previously
identified subjects emerging from the submissions. A summary of the
discussions will be made available.
Submission and Publication
==========================
To contribute, please send a position paper or a technical paper to
[log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] Position papers should
not exceed 5 pages, and technical papers 20 pages. Preferably, submissions
should be in postscript or pdf format.
Workshop proceedings will be distributed to all participants and made
available through the workshop website.
The two best papers and a workshop overview are likely to be published in the
MoDELS 2005 Satellite Post-Proceedings (as a volume of the LNCS series).
Additionally, a selection will be considered for publication in a
suitable technical journal following an agreement with an interested
publisher (a selection of the SVERTS 2003 papers has recently appeared as a
special section of Springer's STTT journal).

Submission deadline: August 30, 2006
Notification of acceptance: September 9, 2006
Final versions due: September 29, 2006
Workshop date : October 2 or 3, 2006
