                                CALL FOR PAPERS
                9th International Workshop on Models at run.time
           Co-located with ACM/IEEE 17th International Conference on
           Model Driven Engineering Languages & Systems (MODELS 2014)
              September 28th - October 3rd, 2014, Valencia, Spain
                      http://st.inf.tu-dresden.de/MRT2014/

                                Important Dates

Submissions of papers: July         11th, 2014
Notification:                 August      22nd, 2014
Camera-ready version:  September 20th, 2014
Workshop date:           September 30th, 2014

We are witnessing the emergence of new classes of application  that  are
 highly
complex, inevitably distributed,   and  operate  in  heterogeneous  and
 rapidly
changing environments. Such systems are required  to  be  adaptable,
flexible,
reconfigurable and, increasingly,   self-managing.   Such  characteristics
 make
systems more prone to failure  when  executing  and  thus  the  development
 and
study of  appropriate  mechanisms  for  runtime  validation  and
 monitoring  is
required.

In the model-driven software development  area,   research  effort  has
 focused
primarily on using models at design, implementation, and  deployment
 stages  of
development. However, the use of  model-driven  techniques  for  validating
 and
monitoring run-time behaviour  can  also  yield  significant  benefits.   A
 key
benefit  is  that  models  provide  a  richer  semantic  base    for
 run-time
decision-making. For example, one can  use  models  to  help  determine
 when  a
system reconfiguration is beneficial. Model-based monitoring and
 management  of
executing systems plays a  significant  role  in  implementing  the  key
 self-*
properties associated with autonomic computing.

The  goal  of  this  workshop  is  to  look  at  issues  related  to
 developing
appropriate model-driven approaches to managing  and  monitoring  the
 execution
of systems. We  build  on  the  previous  events  where  we  have
 succeeded  in
building a community and bringing about  an  initial  exploration  of  the
 core
ideas  of  Models@Runtime  and  now  seek:
- experiences with actual implementations of the [email protected] concept
- rationalisation of the various concepts into overall architectural
  perspectives
- to make explicit the specific roles that models play at runtime.
- impact on software engineering methodologies
- to continue to build a network of researchers in this emerging area,
based on
  the results of the earlier editions.

Workshop Format

The workshop participants will be selected based on their experience  and
 ideas
related to  this  new  and  emerging  field.   You  are  invited  to  apply
 for
attendance by sending a full-paper (8-10 pages) or a position paper (5-6
 pages)
in PDF. The paper must conform  to  the  Springer  LNCS  formatting
 guidelines:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs (it is the same format of the
 Conference,
see conference website for more information). Submissions will  be
 reviewed  by
at least 3 PC members. The authors will  be  notified  about  acceptance
 before
the MODELS 2014 early registration deadline.  Candidates  for  best  papers
 (if
finally  chosen)  can  be  just  taken  from  the  category   of
 full-papers.

A primary deliverable of the workshop is a  report  that  clearly  outlines
 (1)
the research issues and challenges in terms of  specific  research
 problems  in
the area, and (2) a synopsis  of  existing  model-based  solutions  that
 target
some well-defined aspect of monitoring and managing the  execution  of
 systems.
Potential attendees are strongly  encouraged  to  submit  position  papers
 that
clearly identify  research  issues  and  challenges,   present  techniques
 that
address well-defined problems in the area, and are  supported  by  small
 demos.

The workshop aims to:

- Integrate  and  combine  research  ideas  from   the    areas    cited
 above.
- Provide a "state-of-the-research" assessment expressed in  terms  of
 research
issues, challenges, and accomplishments. A preliminary version of  the
 intended
outcome can be found in the summary of  last  year's  models@run. time
 workshop
(see homepage).
- Plan and promote further events on these topics.


Papers on [email protected]  can  relate (but are not limited)  to  the
 following
domains:
- Safety-critical systems
- Cyber-physical systems
- Energy-efficient systems
- Cloud-based systems
- Self-adaptive systems in general

We strongly encourage authors to  address the following topics in  their
 papers
when relevant.
- What a runtime model looks like and how does it evolve?
- How are the causal links with executing code realized?
- The role of [email protected] in the software development process
- Models@runtime, the silver bullet for runtime assurance and V&V?
- Role of requirement at runtime, requirements reflection
- MDE@Runtime: Are MDE tools ready (performance, etc.) for more dynamic
usages?
- How do models at other phases of the SE lifecycle relate to the
corresponding
  runtime models?
- Models@runtime and scalability: horizontally (managing large set of
nodes) and
  vertically (from the cloud to the sensors)
- Models@runtime and software aging: does it help or hurt?
- Small demos and tools that support the use of [email protected]
- Vision papers on novel future directions for models@runtime
- No papers on executable models, unless they are causally (bi-)connected
to a
  running system.
