ECOOP

Building complex and trustworthy software systems in the shortest time-to-market remains the challenging objective that competitive companies are facing constantly. A more challenging objective for these companies is to be able to formalize their development processes in order to analyse them, to simulate and execute them, and to reason about their possible improvement. The complexity of today's software ecosystems and platforms, such as clouds or ultra-large systems are bringing up new requirements to software and systems development. This also leads to new opportunities and challenges regarding their development processes. On one hand, the process engineering community has developed a large background on how to specify, to execute and to improve processes. On the other hand, the model-driven engineering community brings new techniques for easing the construction of languages and complex applications, graphical editors and compilers. The goal of the PMDE workshop is to bring together experts from both communities to discuss the complementarity of these domains and how they can be combined together for a better software productivity and reliability.
