MODELS 2024
Sun 22 - Fri 27 September 2024 Linz, Austria

MODELS is the premier conference series for model-based software and systems engineering. Since 1998 MODELS has been covering all aspects of modeling, from languages and methods to tools and applications. Since the inception of the conference, the development of tools to support modeling activities has been an integral part of the research activities with many of these tools evolving into modeling platforms that support the development of new tools. The demonstration of tools at recent MODELS conferences has shown that both researchers and practitioners dedicate more time and effort to developing high-quality tools to be used by the community and industry. It is also accepted that the availability of tools is a primary factor for the adoption of model-driven engineering approaches.

With this call, we solicit high-quality submissions for the tool demonstration track of MODELS 2024, ranging across commercial, academic, and corporate research as well as industrial systems. We encourage submissions on tools that are: research prototypes built to support novel research ideas, extensions of existing tools and toolchains, mature tools as well as pedagogical tools that support the teaching of model-driven approaches. Any of the MODELS topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations.

The submissions to this track should not have been demonstrated at other venues and extensions of existing tools should be substantial. Based on the purpose of the tool, submissions will be evaluated on their technical merit, novelty, pedagogical impact, relevance to the modeling community, and potential for use in real-world applications. In all cases, particular attention will be given to the quality of the proposed demonstrations. Of course, at least one of the authors must attend the demonstration session to present the tool and discuss it with attendees.

Submission Guidelines

Full submissions must be submitted via EasyChair by July 8, 2024. A full submission must consist of no more than 5 pages (to be published). Authors must also complement their paper with an appendix (not published) describing the demo outline/screenshots and/or a link to a short video/screencast (5 min max) illustrating the tool (e.g., PeerTube, YouTube, and Vimeo). Submissions that do not adhere to the above-specified page limits or that violate the formatting guidelines may be desk-rejected without review.

All submissions must be written in English and adhere to the ACM formatting instructions. Formatting instructions are available here for both LaTeX and Word users as follows:

  • Formatting instructions are available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for both LaTeX and Word users. LaTeX users must use the provided acmart.cls and ACM-Reference-Format.bst without modification, enable the conference format in the preamble of the document (i.e., \documentclass[sigconf, review]{acmart}), and use the ACM reference format for the bibliography (i.e., \bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}). The review option adds line numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their comments.
  • By submitting to the MODELS Tools and Demonstrations Track, authors acknowledge that they are aware of and agree to be bound by the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism. In particular, submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for MODELS Tools and Demonstrations Track 2024.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. We will follow a single-blind reviewing process. Please submit your paper electronically in PDF via Easychair.

By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all [ACM Publications Policies]8https://www.acm.org/publications/policies), including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.”

Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently committed to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. The collection process has started and will roll out as a requirement throughout 2024. We are committed to improving author discoverability, ensuring proper attribution, and contributing to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts. Please contact the Program Chairs if you have any questions about the submission process.

Publication

Accepted tool demonstration papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library and indexed by DBLP.

Conference Presentation

The presentation at the conference should emphasize the usage of the tool, not the rationale and related work as described in the paper. Thus, a substantial portion of the presentation must be an actual live demonstration of the tool.
