Connectionists: MODELS 2022 - Call for Workshops Proposal

[Antonio Bucchiarone]

ABOUT

The MODELS series of conferences is the premier venue for the exchange of
innovative technical ideas and experiences relating to model-driven
approaches in the development of software-based systems. This year’s
edition will provide an opportunity for the modeling community to further
advance the foundations of modeling, and come up with innovative
applications of modeling in emerging areas of cyber-physical systems,
embedded systems, socio-technical systems, cloud computing, big data,
machine learning, security, open source, and sustainability.

Following the tradition of previous conferences, MODELS 2022 will host a
number of workshops, during the three days before the main conference. The
workshops will provide a collaborative forum for a group of typically 15 to
30 participants to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to conduct
intensive discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate efforts
between representatives of a technical community. They are intended as a
forum for lively discussions of innovative ideas, recent progress, or
practical experience on model-driven engineering for specific aspects,
specific problems, or domain-specific needs. Each workshop should provide a
balanced distribution of its time for both presentations of papers
(favoring the attendance of young researchers) and discussions. The
duration of these workshops is in general one day, but we encourage the
submission of half-day workshop proposals on focused topics as well.


NEW THIS YEAR: BEST THEME PAPER AWARD

This year’s conference will feature a Best Theme Paper Award spanning
across all tracks. The special theme of this year’s conference is "Modeling
for social good" #MDE4SG. Workshops provide an excellent opportunity to
contribute to this theme, as workshop papers tend to be more exploratory
and easier to steer towards new avenues.

We encourage researchers to submit papers related to the special theme,
regardless of the workshop they are submitting their paper to.

We also encourage prospective workshop organizers to reflect on this theme
in their workshop proposals.

Workshop proposals on related topics—such as socio-technical systems, tools
with social impact, integrating human values, data science, and intelligent
systems—are especially welcome.

Workshop proposals should accommodate the following selection criteria and
process for the Best Theme Paper Award.

-A paper must be at least 5 pages long to be eligible.

-Each workshop can nominate one candidate paper. This is optional, as not
every workshop will be able to nominate a paper. We suggest you include the
way of selection in your workshop proposals, and decide upon the actual
nomination, or lack thereof, once the workshop PC has reviewed the
submitted papers.

-The workshop chairs will select one paper out of the candidate papers, and
nominate it to the Selection Committee.


SUBMISSION PROCESS

Submit your workshop proposal electronically in PDF using the Springer LNCS
style through the MODELS EasyChair submission site:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=models22workshops.

Please adhere to the workshop proposal guidelines below, providing every
requested information about the proposed workshop, using at most five
pages. Please include the one-page draft of your planned Call for Papers to
the proposal (not included in the five pages). In order to ensure proper
coordination with the deadlines of the main conference, the deadlines
specified in Important Dates below have to be respected by your plan for
your workshop.

An Overleaf template with the suggested structure is available here:

order to work with it, you need to make a copy of it.)


PROCEEDINGS

As in the previous years, a joint Companion Proceedings will be published
by IEEE that includes papers from all workshops. This will include:

-an opening message from the organizers (that should include the workshop
program committee, if applicable); and

-every peer-reviewed paper presented at the workshop.

Submissions must adhere to the IEEE formatting instructions, which can be
found at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Papers should have at least 5 pages. We propose page limits of 5 pages for
short papers and 10 pages for full papers following the same style and
format of the main tracks of the Conference.
