ECMFA 2010 - Call for Tools Demonstrations and Consultancy Presentations
June 15-18, 2010, Paris, France
Model-Based Engineering (MBE) is an approach to the design and development of software and systems that relies on exploiting high-level models and computer-based automation to achieve significant boosts in both productivity and quality. The ECMFA (European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications) conference series (formerly known as the ECMDA-FA conference series) is dedicated to advancing the state of knowledge and fostering the industrial application of MBE and related approaches. Its focus is on engaging the key figures of research and industry in a dialogue which will result in stronger and more effective practical application of MBE, producing thereby more reliable software based on state-of-the-art research results.
ECMFA has traditionally had a very strong tools and consultancy track since this is often the meeting place between academic and industrial people interested in the practice of MBE. In this track, we are soliciting demonstrations of academic, open source, and commercial tools for applying MBE. MBE Consultants are also welcome to participate in this track and should prepare a portfolio of their recent MBE consulting engagements.
Commercial tool vendors and consultants will be required to take up a level of sponsorship in order to participate in the Tools track.
Tools and Consultancy track Organisation
The tool and consultancy track consists of:
- A tools and services presentation track, running in parallel to the main sessions of the conference.
- An exhibition area where tool providers and consultants can demonstrate their tools and services to the conference attendees.
- A poster area where open source and academic tools can present their tools to the conference attendees.
Each exhibitor will have the possibility to get a slot in the tools and services presentation track, which can be used to discuss and demonstrate their proposals. Academic and open source tool providers with posters will also be scheduled in the tools and services track. All presentations from this track will be published in the CTIT Proceedings Series and as a technical report available on the web site as PDF download.
