MoDELS ’08: MDE is a hot topic

With a total number of 372 participants from more than 20 countries all over the world, MoDELS ’08 can be seen as an international event. 271 papers have been submitted, which is twice as much as the previouse conference in 2007. So, we can conclude that Model-Driven Engineering gets more and more attention. I hope this will result in innovative and interesting research, creating a well-founded engineering discipline.

While this conference has parrallel sessions, I couldn’t attend every session. The following posts cover today’s sessions I’ve attended:

• Keynote 1: Abstraction, the neglected side of modelling.
• Session 3: Domain-Specific Modelling.
• Keynote 2: 3D parametric models for aeroplanes – form idea to design.
• Session 5: Composition and Analysis of Behavioral Models.
