Modeling in Automotive System and Software Engineering Workshop

Co-located with ACM/IEEE 23rd International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems

Submission Details

The 3rd Workshop on Modeling in Automotive System and Software Engineering (MASE) 2020 is a satellite event at ACM/IEEE 23rd International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems - MODELS

Automotive software was born less than 40 years ago. Within just 40 years, the significance, size, and development costs of automotive software has grown to staggering levels. The automotive industry is increasingly relying on and becoming a driver of advances in system and software development and engineering methods, techniques and tools to deal with the many unique challenges the automotive industry faces. Significant advances have been made dealing with many of these challenges involving, for instance, variability modeling and software product lines, standardisation, model-based development, cyber-physical systems, and systems engineering. However, the remaining challenges are compounded by future trends. System and software complexities continue to grow and the industry is being forced to incorporate disruptive technology such as electrification, machine learning, autonomous vehicles and, in the near future, support for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications and collaborations.

A central objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for practitioners and researchers from industry and academia in which novel, innovative, model-based solutions to current and future challenges in automotive system and software development can be presented and discussed. Another important objective is the identification of new research problems arising from current trends.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Modeling and model-based approaches to system and software development already have a long tradition in the automotive industry due to, e.g., the high need for abstraction, standardisation and interoperability. It is reasonable to believe that advances in modeling will be key to further advancing automotive system and software engineering as well. MASE 2020 encourages submissions presenting novel and insightful descriptions of applications of modeling techniques to problems arising in the context of automotive system and software engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Advanced Driver Assist Systems and Autonomous Driving
  • Emerging technologies such as big data, mobile apps, social media, open source software, and vehicle networks
  • Architectures and component-based development and relevant technologies such as AUTOSAR, EAST-ADL, and UML,
  • Real-time systems and support for multi-core, mixed criticality and IP, and dynamic scheduling,
  • Quality assurance and support for different quality attributes such as functional and non-functional correctness, interoperability, fault-tolerance, maintainability, and reusability,
  • Safety and security and support for safety standards such as ISO 26262
  • Requirements and traceability
  • Variability and configuration management
  • Synthesis, transformation, iterative development, integration, and code generation
  • Development processes and support for globally distributed development

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are invited to submit:

  1. Technical papers providing novel contributions relevant to the workshop topics.
  2. Experience papers describing the use of modeling in an automotive context
  3. Position papers on future research challenges and open problems.

Both, short papers (not more than 5 pages,including references) and full papers (not more than 10 pages including references) are welcome. Contributions must be written in English and adhere to the ACM Master Article Template. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three PC members who are expert or have been experiencing in the related field for years. Accepted papers will be published as joint workshop proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Selected best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue at the Journal of Automotive Software Engineering (JASE). Contributions must be submitted through the MASE 2020 EasyChair submission page.

THE VENUE

The Workshop on Modeling in Automotive Software Engineering of MODELS 2020. MODELS is the premier conference series for model-based software and systems engineering which since 1998 has been covering all aspects of modeling, from languages and methods to tools and applications.
MODELS 2020 will be held at the MIL Campus of the University of Montreal., in Montreal, Canada. The MIL Campus is located at the cross-roads of four neighborhoods: Outremont to the south, Town of Mount-Royal (a.k.a. TMR) to the west, Parc Extension (a.k.a. Parc Ex) to the north, and Little Italy to the east. MODELS 2020 recommends to either rent the many available rooms in the neighborhood on Airbnb or to stay at one of the hundred hotels down-town ONLINE.
