The Second Workshop "From code centric to model centric software engineering: Practices, Implications and ROI"

This workshop is the successor to the First Workshop "From code centric to model centric software engineering: Practices, Implications and ROI" (C2M2005) http://www.enabler.com/en/skills/ecmda/enabler-ws.html

C2M2005 took place in collaboration with the European Conference on Model Driven Architecture - Foundation and Application on 8th of November 2005. 15 participants attended the 1st Workshop and 5 papers were chosen for presentation.

Workshop overview:

Model Driven Development (MDD) technology, by raising the level of abstraction, provides a powerful toolset to the software development process. The change of paradigm, from code centric to model centric engineering, implies an evolution in the processes, tools and methods used by IT providers and IT divisions. This evolution is strategic and needs to be defined and planned carefully to achieve a successful adoption. Also, MDD brings to industry new opportunities such as: having faster requirement to prototype cycles; improving cost efficiency of requirements review or new releases; significantly reducing effort to deploy to new platforms; speed up development using domain specific extensions; using models to describe all relevant aspects (functional and non functional requirements, behaviour, etc.) so that these models can be used to generate artefacts (software code, test scripts, documentation, etc.);...

Industry plays a critical role in the development of MDD by providing the scientific and vendor communities with a both real life requirements and real life testing of their solutions.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together people from academia and industry, who can provide their experiences and highlight new challenges in their current practice and how they and envision adopting MDD.

We are interested in submissions on all topics covering the impact and measurement of MDD practices, including, but not limited to:

• Organizational impacts of evolving from code centric to model centric
• Challenges for the successful adoption of MDD: how to address them
• Measurement of successful introduction of MDD
• Tools: what tools are currently available and used by the industry?
• Similarities and differences of the appliance of MDD methodology in different industries
• Best practices for MDD introduction
• Current and envisaged barriers to adopting MDD

The workshop will last for one day.
