The EuropeanConference on Model Driven Architecture - Foundations and - plications (ECMDA-FA) is a new conference dedicated to the study and - dustrial adoption of the model-driven approach to software engineering. It has grownoutofanumberofworkshopsandsmallerconferencesintheareaofmodel TM driven development and model driven architecture (MDA ). The conference is dedicated to providinga forum for cross fertilizationbetween the Europeanso- ware industry and the academic community. We aim to present the industrial experience and highlight the pain points of industry in order to promote - cused academic research that will bring real value to society. At the same time, we hope to challenge industry leaders to conduct a realistic appraisal of the emerging technologies presented by academics, consultants, and tool vendors, and eventually to adopt the model driven approach. The conference provides both a forum for the papers judged as being of the highest quality and a venue for workshops, tutorials and tool exhibitions on model driven software engineering. This year, we are host to ?ve workshops and four tutorials in subject matter ranging from the highly theoretical to the pr- tical industrial aspects of MDA and a tool exhibition featuring nine commercial and sevenopensourceor academictools.This volumecontainsnine papersfrom theapplicationstrackand?fteenfromthefoundationstrack,chosenfrom82s- mitted papers. These works provide the latest and most relevant information on model driven software engineering in the industrial and academic spheres.

The fourth edition of the European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture – Foundations and Applications (ECMDA-FA 2008) was dedicated to furthering the state of knowledge and fostering the industrialization of the model-driven architecture (MDA) methodology. MDA is an initiative proposed by the - ject Management Group (OMG) for platform-generic software development. It promotes the use of models in the speci?cation, design, analysis, synthesis, - ployment, and evolution of complex software systems. ECMDA-FA 2008 focused on engaging key European and international - searchers and practitioners in a dialogue which will result in a stronger, more e?cientindustry,producingmorereliablesoftwareonthebasisofstate-of-the-art research results. ECMDA-FA is a forum for exchanging information, discussing the latest results and arguing about future developments of MDA. It is a pleasure to be able to introduce the proceedings of ECMDA-FA 2008. ECMDA-FA addresses various MDA areas including model management, e- cutable models, concrete syntaxes, aspects and concerns, validation and te- ing, model-based systems engineering, model-driven development and servi- oriented architectures, and the application of model-driven development.

The Program Committee accepted, with the help of additional reviewers, research papers and industry papers for ECMDA-FA 2008: We received 87 s- missions. Of these, a total of 31 were accepted including 21 research papers and 10 industry papers. We thank them for the thorough andhigh-quality selection process.

The ?fth edition of the European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture Foundations and Applications (ECMDA-FA 2009) was dedicated to furthering the state of knowledge and fostering the industrialization of Model-Driven - chitecture (MDA) and Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). MDA is an initiative proposed by the Object Management Group for platform-generic systems - velopment; MDA is one of a class of approaches under the umbrella of MDE. MDE and MDA promote the use of models in the speci?cation, design, analysis, synthesis, deployment, and evolution of complex software systems. It is a pleasure to be able to introduce the proceedings of ECMDA-FA 2009. ECMDA-FA 2009 addressed various MDA areas including model transfor- tions, modelling language issues, modelling of behavior and time, traceability and scalability, model-basedembedded systems engineering,and the application of model-driven development to IT and networking systems. ECMDA-FA 2009 focused on engaging key European and international - searchers and practitioners in a dialogue which will result in a stronger, more e?cientindustry,producingmorereliablesoftwareonthebasisofstate-of-the-art research results. ECMDA-FA is a forum for exchanging information, discussing the latest results and arguing about future developments of MDA and MDE. Particularly, it is one of the few venues that engages both leading academic researchers and industry practitioners, with the intent of creating synergies.
