Report on the First Workshop On the Globalization of Modeling Languages
It targets researchers and practitioners in software engineering, but it is incremental as it summarizes a workshop without introducing new methods or results.
The paper reports on the first GEMOC workshop, which addressed the challenges of using multiple modeling languages in complex software development by facilitating discussions and presentations on language composition artifacts and approaches.
The first edition of GEMOC workshop was co-located with the MODELS 2013 conference in Miami, FL, USA. The workshop provided an open forum for sharing experiences, problems and solutions related to the challenges of using of multiple modeling languages in the development of complex software based systems. During the workshop, concrete language composition artifacts, approaches, and mechanisms were presented and discussed, ideas and opinions exchanged, and constructive feedback provided to authors of accepted papers. A major objective was to encourage collaborations and to start building a community that focused on providing solutions that support what we refer to as the globalization of domain-specific modeling languages, that is, support coordinated use of multiple languages throughout the development of complex systems. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions that took place in the first GEMOC 2013 workshop.
