This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (formerly UML conferences), MoDELS 2006. The book presents 51 revised full papers and 2 invited papers. Discussion is organized in topical sections on evaluating UML, MDA in software development, concrete syntax, applying UML to interaction and coordination, aspects, model integration, formal semantics of UML, security, model transformation tools and implementation, and more.

Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems

Maura Cerioli

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2001, held jointly with the General Workshop of the ESPRIT Working Group CoFI in Genova, Italy, in April 2001.The book presents 16 papers selected from 32 workshop presentations. Among the topics addressed are formal specification, specification languages, term rewriting, and proof systems.

FIDJI 2004 was an international forum for researchers and practitioners int- estedinthe advancesin,andapplicationsof,softwareengineeringfordistributed application development. Concerning the technologies, the workshop focused on “Java-related” technologies. It was an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. Allpaperssubmittedtothisworkshopwerereviewedbyatleasttwomembers of the International Program Committee. Acceptance was based primarily on originality and contribution. We selected, for these post-workshop proceedings, 11 papers amongst 22 submitted, a tutorial and two keynotes. FIDJI2004aimedatpromotingascienti?capproachtosoftwareengineering. The scope of the workshop included the following topics: – design of distributed applications – development methodologies for software and system engineering – UML-based development methodologies – development of reliable and secure distributed systems – component-based development methodologies – dependability support during system life cycle – fault tolerance re?nement, evolution and decomposition – atomicity and exception handling in system development – software architectures, frameworks and design patterns for developing d- tributed systems – integration of formal techniques in the development process – formal analysis and grounding of modelling notation and techniques (e. g. , UML, metamodelling) – supporting the security and dependability requirements of distributed app- cations in the development process – distributed software inspection – refactoring methods – industrial and academic case studies – development and analysis tools The organization of such a workshop represents an important amount of work.
