UMSS'07 - The Fourth International Workshop on the Application of UM/MDA to
Software Systems (UMSS'2007)
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (June 25-28, 2007)

http://people.cs.und.edu/~reza/MUSS07/UML.htm


Today's software products and their underpinning process models are becoming
more complex and costly, making the realization of these products an
increasingly difficult task.  The OMG's Unified Modeling Language (UML) and,
more recently Model Driven Architecture (MDA), play important roles in the
development and implementation of heterogeneous software systems.
Furthermore, the ability to reason about the properties of a system built
through an integrated system life-cycle is of great concern to modern
developers. The main goal of this Workshop is to bring together researchers
and practitioners from both academia and industry. 
You are invited to submit a paper that documents experience in research and
use of the UML and MDA in either industrial or academic work.  Papers will
be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. The
Workshop will be held in conjunction with 2007 International Multiconferece
in Computer Science and Computer Engineering (IMCSE '07). All accepted
papers will be published in the Workshop proceedings.
  
SCOPE 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 
- UML semantics and Modeling
- MDA tool support  
- Formal Specifications of UML models 
- Formal Verifications of UML models
- UML and domain specific modeling languages
- MDA and Integrated Tool Environment
- UML model refinement and transformation
- MDA development processes and automatic code generation techniques
- Model Transformation and Models compositions
- MDA and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Executable UML models and tool support
- Industrial case studies and reports                        
- UML/MDA and Aerospace Software Engineering
- MDA and Aspect-Oriented Software Architecture 
- Quality Driven Software Architecture
- Automated Software Design/Architecture
- Reconfigurable Systems and UML/MDA
