Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a popular way to specify, design, implement, deploy and maintain complex systems with high quality and lower costs. These systems combine multiple areas of engineering, including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, biochemical, control, signal processing, and more. To represent all these aspects, a large number of heterogeneous models are required. However, managing these models correctly can be challenging, especially when different teams work on them simultaneously, which is common in collaborative and concurrent engineering. This activity is called Model Management (MoM) and includes activities beyond maintaining model consistency, such as managing model views, model validity, model versions, and development workflows.

MoM is crucial for industries that are moving from traditional engineering methods to MBSE. Therefore, there are many approaches to MoM, both from academia and industry. However, there is still no single theory or approach to tackle this problem. To address this, this MoM workshop’s first edition aims to bring together international researchers and practitioners from academia and research for an intense one-day workshop. The goal is to further the state-of-the-art in MoM, develop new collaborations, and define future directions.

Submission Guidelines

All papers will be published with the main conference’s workshop proceedings.

• Full research papers (10 pages max) presenting a novel innovative approach
• Exemplar descriptions (10 pages max) describing a Model-Based Engineering practice, highlighting both the processes at play and the formalisms, languages and/or tools used to support these activities, and the way these artifacts are managed
• Short papers (5 pages max) present new ideas or early-stage research, extensively discuss the experiences of the researchers of practitioners with a MoM approach or tool

List of Topics

• Foundations of MoM; challenges, theories, techniques and tools
• MoM with and for MBSE and MPM
• Management of modeling languages, model views, model validity, model changes, model versions, etc.
• Applications of MoM techniques in the domains of automotive, aviation, manufacturing, healthcare, enterprise software, etc.
• MoM at runtime for digital twins, self-adaptive systems, etc.
