Fourth Workshop on Model-Based Development of Computer-Based Systems and Third International Workshop on Model-Based Methodologies for Pervasive and Embedded Software (MBD/MOMPES 2006) : 30 March 2006/Potsdam, Germany

MBD/MOMPES 2006 discusses scientific and practical aspects related with the adoption of MDA (OMG's Model-Driven Architecture) and other MBD (Model-Based Development) methodologies (notation, process, methods, and tools) for supporting the construction of computer-based systems, and more specifically, pervasive and embedded software. Model-Based Development (MBD) comprises approaches to software development separating the development process by constructing an application-oriented model and supporting the transition to implementation-oriented model. Therefore, with Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) as a prominent representative, MBD addresses technical issues like meta-models for architectural descriptions, suitable platforms, and automatic transformations from models to code. For a successful application of MBD, additional methodical aspects, like the definition of domain-specific models or analytic and generative techniques for these models, are needed.IEEE Computer Society Staff is the author of 'Fourth Workshop on Model-Based Development of Computer-Based Systems and Third International Workshop on Model-Based Methodologies for Pervasive and Embedded Software (MBD/MOMPES 2006) : 30 March 2006/Potsdam, Germany', published 2006 under ISBN 9780769525389 and ISBN 0769525385.
