Proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Modeling in Software Engineering

Abstract

We welcome you to the 8th Workshop on Modeling in Software Engineering --- MiSE'16, collocated with ICSE'2016 in Austin, Texas! The primary goal of MiSE 2016 is to foster the exchange of innovative ideas on the use of models in software engineering. Another goal of this workshop is to further promote crossfertilization between the model-driven engineering (MDE) communities (e.g., researchers who associate with the MoDELS conference) and software engineering communities. Previous versions of the workshop showed that while there is great interest in collaborations and discussions across these communities, there are differences in terminologies and the concepts that need to be harmonized for effective communication to take place. The workshop provides a forum for discussing and critically analyzing the effective use of models in the engineering of complex software systems, and for engaging in the exchange of innovative technical ideas and experiences related to modeling -- including MDE technologies, analyses of models, reverse engineering of models, derivation of other artifacts from models, co-evolution of models and software-engineering artifacts, regulatory compliance of models, and domain-specific modelling and analysis.
