Call for Papers
The symposium aims to bring together experts in model-based, model-driven software and systems engineering from embedded, cyber-physical and software-intensive systems domains with simulation experts, with the objective to advance the state of the art in model-driven simulation engineering and simulation-based systems engineering.
Model-driven approaches allow to increase the abstraction in model specifications and automate the generation of models and executable software artifacts through model transformations, so as to lead to more productive modeling activities.
Simulation-based systems engineering exploits simulation to execute system architecture models and generate the system behaviour. It promotes simulation experimentation for design space exploration, performance and behaviour prediction, evaluation of alternatives or sensitivity analysis.
Model-driven simulation engineering recognizes that simulation systems, as other software systems, can benefit from model-driven approaches. It thus endorses the utilization of metamodeling and model transformations in the simulation life cycle to enhance simulation quality, and reduce costs, development effort and time-to-market.
We would like to invite and encourage researchers and practitioners of model-driven simulation engineering and simulation-based systems engineering to publish and share their contributions in then Mod4Sim symposium.
