                          CALL FOR PAPERS

            17th International System Design Languages Forum

                           SDL Forum 2015

              http://sdlforum2015.informatik.hu-berlin.de

                12th-14th October 2015, Berlin, Germany

************************************************************************

The SDL Forum is held every 2 years and is one of the most important open e=
vents in the calendar for anyone from academia or industry involved in Syst=
em Design Languages and modelling technologies. It is a primary conference =
for discussion of the evolution and use of these languages. The most recent=
 innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field are discussed a=
nd presented. System and software modeling, specification, and analysis of =
distributed systems, embedded systems, communication systems, and real-time=
 systems are addressed. =


The SDL Forum Society that runs the Forum is a non-profit organization esta=
blished by language users and tool providers to promote the Specification a=
nd Description Language (SDL), Message Sequence Charts (MSC) and related Sy=
stem Design Languages (including but not limited to UML, ASN.1, TTCN, SysML=
, URN, MOF, XSD, RDF, Modellica, and 3DCIM), to provide and disseminate inf=
ormation on the development and use of the languages, to support education =
on the languages and to plan and organize the =93SDL Forum=94 series and ev=
ents to promote the languages.

The 17th SDL Forum will be held mid October 2015 from the 12th to the 14th =
at Fraunhofer FOKUS, organized by the Humboldt Universit=E4t zu Berlin and =
Fraunhofer FOKUS. Its program will include presentations form industrial an=
d academic papers, invited talks, tutorials, posters, exhibitions, and a Ph=
D track. More details at http://sdlforum2015.informatik.hu-berlin.de. This =
call is available as PDF at http://sdlforum2015.informatik.hu-berlin.de/wp-=

PUBLICATION

As with previous SDL Forum events, SDL Forum 2015 papers will be published =
as on-event proceedings in the LNCS series by Springer (http://www.springer=
.com/lncs).

TOPICS

- Smart City: languages, models, simulations, and other model driven engine=
ering techniques, applications, or case studies in the domain of smart citi=
es.

- Industrial application reports: industrial usage reports, standardization=
 activities, tool support and frameworks, domain-specific applicability (su=
ch as telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, control, etc.). Such repor=
ts should focus on what is effective (and ineffective) in applying a techni=
que preferably backed up by some measurements. A report should not just des=
cribe an implementation, though new application areas are of interest.

- System engineering models: semantics of system models, refinement of syst=
em designs into hardware/software implementations, integration of system an=
d software design models, non-functional aspects (such as performance, qual=
ity of service, real-time aspects, security, etc.) in system models, multi-=
core models.

- Model-driven development: analysis and transformation of models, reuse ap=
proaches, verification and validation of models, systematic testing based o=
n and applied to models.

- Evolution of development languages: domain-specific language profiles esp=
ecially for dependability, modular language design, language extensions, se=
mantics and evaluation, methodology for application.

This Years Theme: MODEL DRIVEN ENGINEERING FOR SMART CITIES

This years theme is Model Driven Engineering for Smart Cities. In the futur=
e smart city, new information and communication technologies (ICT) will be =
integrated in more and more buildings, streets and institutions. The challe=
nge will be to allow all citizens a seamless access to relevant information=
, to sustainably and economically use the available resources, to master th=
e growing claims of networked mobility infrastructures and to organize a mo=
dern, citizen-friendly administration.

Modelling the structure and behavior of those kinds of complex systems of d=
ifferent domains (like traffic management, energy supply, urban development=
, etc.) with the target of analyzing and controlling them in their combinat=
ion requires adequate description, computation, testing, and general softwa=
re techniques to place ICT successfully.

Thus, the use of models serves no end in itself but should ideally allow fo=
r automatic derivation of complex control software out of models which have=
 been evaluated and improved by applying these techniques. In addition prac=
tical problems of performance, scalability, robustness, and security of suc=
h systems come into the focus of interest immediately.

Models in the Smart City area which combine IT domain with other ones have =
to be naturally raised in an interdisciplinary way. In particular, the deve=
lopment of domain-specific modeling languages provides interesting challeng=
es here.
