First Workshop on Large Language Models For Model Driven Engineering (LLM4MDE 2024)

The introduction of ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, and Bing Chat Ai marked a significant advancement in the field of natural language processing, contributing to the widespread popularity of large language models (LLMs). These models have found successful applications in diverse sectors, including healthcare, finance, education, and various engineering fields, among others.

LLMs tailored for code, such as CodeLLama, Codex, and others, have revolutionized the landscape of software engineering. They significantly enhance developers’ efficiency in coding, testing, and documentation. Despite their achievements in automating coding tasks, LLMs have not yet made a substantial impact in the domain of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE).

Hence, the primary objective of this workshop is to explore potential applications where LLMs can support MDE engineers and engage in discussions regarding the implementation of such solutions.

The objectives of the llm4mde 2024 workshop are to:

  • identify use-cases within MDE that can be assisted by LLMs;
  • explore the current technologies that enable the tuning of LLMs to optimize MDE processes;
  • identify LLMs that could be applied in the MDE field;
  • explore MDE technologies for automating the tuning and configuration of LLMs.
