SCOPE
The Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is an approach to the development
of IT systems fostered by the Object Management Group

(OMG) that separates the specification of the system functionality
from its implementation on a particular platform. A common

pattern of MDA development is to define a platform-independent model
(PIM) of a system, and to apply (parameterised)

transformations to this PIM to obtain one or more platform-specific
models (PSMs). In this context, PIMs are reusable models

that consolidate the application development effort. Furthermore, MDA
advocates the use of OMG core technology, especially the

Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and MOF-compliant languages such as UML and
CWM. In Model-Driven Development the MDA principles and

technologies are applied in the development of information systems.
MDD has already been around for some years and is about to

become commodity in software development due to its benefits
(reduction on development costs, improvement of software quality,

reduction of maintenance costs and the support for controlled
evolution of IT systems). MDD has also been applied in many

application areas, such as real-time and embedded systems,
telecommunication systems, and, more recently, in the development and

integration of enterprise information systems. However, the MDD
research community is wishing to explore the bounds of MDD, by

investigating new applications areas and combinations with other
emerging technologies, like, for example, pervasive context-

aware systems, Semantic web, Semantic web services, SOA and
ontologies.
This Special session aims at fostering the latest developments and
applications of MDD approach. We invite authors to submit

contributions on the techniques, the tools and the methodologies of
MDD for future information systems.
