Foreword

The purpose of this workshop is to study and advance the effective use of models in the engineering of software systems. In particular, we are interested in the exchange of experiences, challenges and promising technologies related to modeling. The goals of the software modeling community are to improve the productivity of software developers and to improve the quality of the resulting software products. Models are useful in all phases and activities surrounding software development and deployment. Thus, workshop topics range from requirements modeling, to runtime models, to models for assessing software quality, and to the pragmatics of how to manage large collections of models. This year, we received 23 submissions. Of these, the program committee accepted 11 papers for long presentations and 3 papers papers for shorter presentations, for an acceptance rate of 61%. These papers form the basis of workshop sessions, each of which starts with short presentations of 2-3 papers, followed by discussions of issues and research opportunities raised by the papers and by the session topic in general. The program also includes two keynotes, a panel discussion, and a poster/demo session.
