Scope:
The purpose of the International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development, MODELSWARD 2017, is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in using models and model driven engineering techniques for Software Development. Model-Driven Development (MDD) is an approach to the development of IT systems in which models take a central role, not only for analysis of these systems but also for their construction. MDD has emerged from modelling initiatives, most prominently the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) fostered by the Object Management Group (OMG). In the scope of MDA, a couple of technologies have been developed that became the cornerstones of MDD, like metamodelling and model transformations. MDD relies on languages for defining metamodels, like the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and Ecore (developed in the scope of the Eclipse Modelling Framework), and transformation specification languages like QVT and ATL.

MODELSWARD 2017 will be held in conjunction with ICISSP 2017 and SENSORNETS 2017.
Registration to MODELSWARD allows free access to the ICISSP and SENSORNETS conferences (as a non-speaker).
