Goals and Areas of Interest

This workshop focuses on the implementation of the ISO/IEC 24744 International Standard (also known as Software Engineering Metamodel for Development Methodologies) in the form of tools or other readily-available technologies. Without tools that embody them, standards are barely useful to the community. The organizers of the workshop represent the major players in this field, bringing together academia and industry to a single venue where the implementation of an innovative standard will be studied.
Specific areas of interest include:

• Requirements, use cases and usage scenarios for SEMDM-based tools
• Structural and dynamic implementation models of SEMDM
• Implementing powertype patterns and clabjects with OO programming languages
• Persisting SEMDM-based repositories to conventional databases
• User interfaces for SEMDM

Workshop Format

The workshop will be structured as a pure discussion forum, with the following layout:

1. Organisers introduce the workshop theme (15 minutes)
2. One of the organisers gives a brief overview talk about the SEMDM (30 minutes)
3. Attendees with accepted position statements address the audience (10 minutes maximum per attendee, 60 minutes maximum in total); moderator identifies topics for discussion
4. Moderator organises discussion as necessary in one or more groups
5. Discussion takes place
6. Organisers sum up and present conclusions (30 minutes)

Some time after the workshop, the organizers will prepare a paper summarising the results of the workshop for publication. Co-authorship will be negotiated among the workshop contributors.
