 CALL FOR PAPERS

                 4th International Workshop on
        Model-driven Approaches for Simulation Engineering
    part of the Symposium on Theory of Modeling and Simulation
                     (SCS SpringSim 2014)

# Papers Due: *** November 1, 2013 ***

#################################################################

The workshop aims to bring together experts in model-based, model-driven
and software engineering with experts in simulation methods and simulation
practitioners, with the objective to advance the state of the art in
model-driven simulation engineering.

Model-driven engineering approaches provide considerable advantages to
software systems engineering activities through the provision of consistent
and coherent models at different abstraction levels. As these models are in
a machine readable form, model-driven engineering approaches can also
support the exploitation of computing capabilities for model reuse,
programming code generation, and model checking, for example.

The definition of a simulation model, its software implementation and its
execution platform form what is known as simulation engineering. As
simulation systems are mainly based on software, these systems can
similarly benefit from model-driven approaches to support automatic
software generation, enhance software quality, and reduce costs,
development effort and time-to-market.

Similarly to systems and software engineering, simulation engineering can
exploit the capabilities of model-driven approaches by increasing the
abstraction level in simulation model specifications and by automating the
derivation of simulator code. Further advantages can be gained by using
modeling languages, such as UML and SysML ? but not exclusively those. For
example, modeling languages can be used for descriptive modeling (to
describe the system to be simulated), for analytical modeling (to specify
analytically the simulation of the same system), and for implementation
modeling (to define the respective simulator).

A partial list of topics of interest includes:

* model-driven simulation engineering processes
* requirements modeling for simulation
* domain specific languages for modeling and simulation
* model transformations for simulation model building
* model transformations for simulation model implementation
* model-driven engineering of distributed simulation systems
* relationship between metamodeling standards (e.g., MOF, Ecore) and
distributed simulation standards (e.g., HLA, DIS)
* metamodels for simulation reuse and interoperability
* model-driven technologies for different simulation paradigms (discrete
event simulation, multi-agent simulation, sketch-based * simulation, etc.)
* model-driven methods and tools for performance engineering of simulation
systems
* simulation tools for model-driven software performance engineering
* model-driven technologies for simulation verification and validation
* model-driven technologies for data collection and analysis
* model-driven technologies for simulation visualization
* Executable UML
* Executable Architectures
* SysML / Modelica integration
* Simulation Model Portability and reuse
* model-based systems verification and validation
* simulation for model-based systems engineering

To stimulate creativity, however, the workshop maintains a wider scope and
welcomes contributions offering original perspectives on model-driven
engineering of simulation systems.

Overview
------------

For the past twenty-eight years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC) has been a primary
gathering forum for applied computer scientists,computer engineers,
software engineers, and application
developers from around the world.

The Seventh Edition of the Requirements Engineering Track (RE-Track'14) is
part of the 29th ACM
Symposium on Applied Computing. SAC 2014 is hosted by Seoul National
University, Kyungpook National
University, Soongsil University, and Dongguk University. SAC 2014 will held
in the historic city of Gyeongju,
 known as the Museum without Walls

Further details may be found at: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2014/
.

Requirement Engineering is defined as the branch of Software Engineering
concerned with the real-world goals
for, functions of, and constraints on software systems; it is also
concerned with the relationship of these factors
to precise specifications of software behaviour and to their evolution over
time and across software families.
Requirements engineering is increasingly recognized as a critically
important activity in any systems engineering
process.

The arising of many complex software applications in many multidisciplinary
domains, the speed with which they
need to be developed, and the degree to which they are expected to change,
all play a role in determining how the
systems development process should be conducted. Independently of the
nature of the software, the elicitation,
analysis, negotiation, specification, validation and management of
requirements are fundamental for the development
of quality in complex software. Only by fully understanding stakeholders'
needs, and documenting them in a concise,
 and unambiguous way, can consistently deliver quality products designed to
meet the complexities of our advanced
information society.

However, there area number of inherent difficulties in the RE process. The
existing methods for requirements specification
are far from being  completely satisfactory. Requirements must be
measurable, testable, related to identified business
and other field needs or opportunities, and defined to a level of detail
sufficient for system design. The demand for better,
faster, and more usable software systems will continue, and RE will
therefore continue to evolve in order to deal with different
 development scenarios which must be considered. Besides that, many new
areas are being investigated by requirements
engineering community (such as: aspect-oriented or agents-oriented
development, COTS-based systems, use of simulation
techniques, autonomic system) to achieve better ways for leading with the
involved complexity.

The objective of this track is to explore different advances in requirement
engineering in a general way, its relation with different
 areas, reducing the gap between software engineering solutions and the way
one specific domain of knowledge was seen up
 to given point.

------------
TOPICS
------------

These are the main areas of concern in Requirements Engineering:
* Requirements Engineering for Scientific Areas
* Requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation
* Requirements specification languages, methods, processes, and tools
* Requirements management, traceability, viewpoints
* Modelling of requirements, goals, and domains
* Non-functional requirements
* Requirements engineering and software architecture
* Aspect-oriented requirements engineering
* Agent-oriented requirements engineering
* Requirements for COTS-based systems
* Case studies and experiences based on requirements engineering
* Social, cultural, and cognitive factors in requirements engineering
* Requirements engineering: education and Training
* Requirements and Simulation
* Requirements and Autonomic Systems
* Requirements Reuse

------------
PAPER SUBMISSION
------------

Authors are invited to submit original papers in all areas of Requirement
Engineering.

The program committee will blindly review submissions to that track.
The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the
paper,
self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind
review. The paper should not exceed 6 pages in ACM format.
Please note that the maximum page length for the conference is 6 pages
(without extra-fee), 8 is the maximum (with extra-fee).

Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common paper
formats, such as US letter and A4. Papers should not be submitted to
more than one ACM-SAC track.

Paper submissions should be done electronically through the website
at www.softconf.com/c/sac2014/. Further information may be found at:
