Call for Papers (MSSiS 2020)

The papers can be written in Portuguese or English. All submissions must follow the formatting style of the events of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), also available on Overleaf, classified in:

 

• Full Papers (up to 10 pages), presenting a result of interest for the advancement of research in the area. Papers describing models, methods, experimental studies and reports of industrial experience are welcome; and
• Short Papers (up to 5 pages), describing ongoing research and/or preliminary results.

 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 

• - Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Software Requirements Engineering
• - Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Software Architecture
• - Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Software Testing
• - Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Software Verification and Validation
• - Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Software Deployment
• - Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Software Evolution and Maintenance
• - Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Software Security and Safety
• - Software Simulation using many paradigms (such as Systems Dynamics, NetLogo, MultiAgents, DEVS)
• - Model-Driven/Based Software Engineering
• - MDE as a Service
• - Simulation as a Service
• - Models at runtime (Models@runtime)
• - Simulation and Models@runtime for Empirical studies in software engineering
• - Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Software-Intensive Systems, including large-scale systems, cyber-physical systems, information systems, systems-of-systems, systems-of-information systems, business processes, software ecosystems, critical systems for avionics and other domains, smart cities and their constituents systems
• - Megamodels
• - Graphical and Textual Domain-Specific Languages for Modeling Software Dynamics
• - Modeling and Simulation in the Software Engineering Life Cycle (Adoption of M&S in Requirements, Software Architecture, Software Design, Implementation, Tests, V&V, Deployment, Maintenance and Software Evolution )
• - Executable models

• - Effective interoperability between different tools and between different DSL
• - Requirements, Architecture, Design, Test, V&V of the Simulation Software Specification and its Execution Mechanisms
• - Datasets for model execution
• - Software Simulation on Various Platforms (such as System Dynamics, NetLogo, Multi-Agents, Discrete Event Specification System)
• - Conceptual modeling
• - Modeling and Simulation of Software Architecture and Architectural Styles (such as SOA, Blockchain, Client-Server and variants, Layers, MVC, Components)
• - Graphical languages for executable models of software-intensive systems

Submissions will be managed through JEMS. Papers can be submitted using the following link:
https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=3611.

 

The papers will be evaluated by at least three committee members. The acceptance will be mainly based on the originality and contribution. For full papers, the observed criteria are: (i) suitability to the workshop scope, (ii) relevance, (iii) technical quality, (iv) clearness and (v) originality. For short and position papers, the judgement criteria for full papers will also be followed. However, consolidated results are not expected for this category, and the acceptance will be based on the importance of the topic, potential to foster discussions during the workshop, and focus on feedback for authors.

 

All the papers, regardeless of their category, will be subject to a (double blind review) process. Hence, any type of identification should be suppressed.
