[polarsys-iwg] Submit a paper for the OSS4MDE workshops at Models 2016

Dear all,

Please find below the CfP for the OSS4MDE workshop at Models 2016. I think this is a great opportunity to present your project, ideas, or return of experience with PolarSys Solutions and more generally with open source modeling projects.

Please note that you can submit short papers that describe cool ideas, work in progress, experience reports, or position papers.

Don't wait too long as sumbissions close on July 17th.

Cheers,

Third Workshop on Open Source Software for Model Driven Engineering (OSS4MDE'16)
St. Malo, France
October 2, 3, or 4, 2016
Co-located with MODELS'16
http://mase.cs.queensu.ca/oss4mde
------------------

OBJECTIVES
Just like the previous versions of the workshop, OSS4MDE'16 workshop
will bring together researchers, educators and industry
representatives interested in modeling and MDE with open source
tools. However, the objectives will be less formal and more
interactive, and place more emphasis on promoting open source by
inspiring and encouraging potential users and contributors, and
supporting existing users and contributors.

Concretely, OSS4MDE'16 will allow participants to share information about
- available open source MDE software and supporting resources and
  artifacts,
- issues (technical, social, etc.) inhibiting the use of open source
  software and ways to overcome or mitigate them,
- ongoing and planned development activities involving open source MDE
  software, and
- ongoing and planned promotion and outreach activities such as
  workshops, tutorials, and competitions.
A distinct goal of the workshop is the identification of concrete,
joint activities to be carried out after the workshop.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
OSS4MDE'16 welcomes submissions on all aspects related to the use,
development, or promotion of open source MDE tools in academia (for,
e.g., teaching or research), and industry (for, e.g., training,
development, or research) including, but not limited to:
- Inspiring descriptions of non-trivial ongoing or planned efforts to
  (1) use, improve, or extend existing open source MDE tools, or to
  (2) develop new open source MDE tools,
- Novel, innovative ideas for, e.g.,
  (1) improving the quality, usability, visibility, adoption, or impact
      of open source MDE tools,
  (2) improving the experience and productivity of users and developers
      of open source MDE tools,
  (3) building and sustaining a community of users and developers,
- Novel proposals on how to customize UML or open source MDE tools
  based on UML to increase the effectiveness of teaching UML and MDE
  to audiences with no or little background in modeling such as
  undergraduate students.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
The intended audience consists of all people interested in
advancing MDE in industry or academia through the use or development
of open source tools and their supporting ecosystems.

SUBMISSIONS, GUIDELINES, AND PROCEEDINGS
Submissions should fall into one of the following four categories:
- 'Cool idea' and vision papers:
  describe original, inspiring, possibly untested ideas or suggestions.
- Work-in-progress papers:
  describe ongoing work using, extending, or building open source modeling
  tools including planned work and work in early stages of development.
- Experience reports:
  provide insight through the description of successful or unsuccessful
  activities related to the workshop topics. This includes descriptions
  of course assignments and course projects, as well as research
  projects involving significant use of open source MDE software.
- Position and opinion papers:
  describe a clearly identifiable position or opinion on a relevant topic
  in a well-argued, insightful way; papers discussing obstacles to the
  success of open source MDE tools and how they could be mitigated or
  removed are particularly encouraged.

Submissions must be written in English, adhere to Springer's LNCS
formatting guidelines
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0)
and be between 2~and 6~pages in length including references.

The goal is to publish workshop proceedings with CEUR (http://ceur.org)
and find ways to include all accepted submissions into the proceedings,
while respecting CEUR's requirements on page limits etc (e.g., accepted
submissions with less than 5 pages could be integrated into a workshop
summary).

Submissions will be handled using EasyChair and reviewed by at least
three PC members. Standard conflict rules
(http://www.sigsoft.org/about/policies/pc-policy.htm) will be applied.
Acceptance decisions will be made based on criteria such as
correctness, clarity, and originality, but also on the potential of
the work to stimulate discussion, inspire participants, and contribute
to the success of the workshop.
     
IMPORTANT DATES
- Submission deadline: July 17, 2016.
- Author notification: August 14, 2016.
- Workshop: October 2, 3, or 4, 2016.
