This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2020, which took place in Dublin, Ireland, in April 2020, and was held as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2020.The 23 full papers, 1 tool paper and 6 testing competition papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions.The papers cover topics such as requirements engineering, software architectures, specification, software quality, validation, verification of functional and non-functional properties, model-driven development and model transformation, software processes, security and software evolution.

This book discusses how model-based approaches can improve the daily practice of software professionals. This is known as Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) or, simply, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE).MDSE practices have proved to increase efficiency and effectiveness in software development, as demonstrated by various quantitative and qualitative studies. MDSE adoption in the software industry is foreseen to grow exponentially in the near future, e.g., due to the convergence of software development and business analysis.The aim of this book is to provide you with an agile and flexible tool to introduce you to the MDSE world, thus allowing you to quickly understand its basic principles and techniques and to choose the right set of MDSE instruments for your needs so that you can start to benefit from MDSE right away.The book is organized into two main parts.The first part discusses the foundations of MDSE in terms of basic concepts (i.e., models and transformations), driving principles, application scenarios, and current standards, like the well-known MDA initiative proposed by OMG (Object Management Group) as well as the practices on how to integrate MDSE in existing development processes.The second part deals with the technical aspects of MDSE, spanning from the basics on when and how to build a domain-specific modeling language, to the description of Model-to-Text and Model-to-Model transformations, and the tools that support the management of MDSE projects.The second edition of the book features:a set of completely new topics, including: full example of the creation of a new modeling language (IFML), discussion of modeling issues and approaches in specific domains, like business process modeling, user interaction modeling, and enterprise architecturecomplete revision of examples, figures, and text, for improving readability, understandability, and coherencebetter formulation of definitions, dependencies between concepts and ideasaddition of a complete index of book contentIn addition to the contents of the book, more resources are provided on the book's website http://www.mdse-book.com, including the examples presented in the book.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications, ECMFA 2014, held as part of STAF 2014, in York, UK, in July 2014. The 14 foundation track papers and the 3 applications track papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. They are on all aspects of MDE, including topics such as model provenance; model transformations and code generation; model synthesis; model-driven testing; formal modeling approaches; business modeling; and usability of models.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2017, held in Rome, Italy, in June 2017.The 20 full research papers and 12 short papers presented together with 6 application papers, 6 demonstration papers, and 6 contributions to the PhD Symposium, were carefully reviewed and selected from 139 submissions. The papers cover research areas such as Web application modeling and engineering, human computation and crowdsourcing applications, Web applications composition and mashup, Social Web applications, Semantic Web applications, Web of Things applications, and big data.

Conceptual modeling has always been one of the main issues in information systems engineering as it aims to describe the general knowledge of the system at an abstract level that facilitates user understanding and software development.This collection of selected papers provides a comprehensive and extremely readable overview of what conceptual modeling is and perspectives on making it more and more relevant in our society. It covers topics like modeling the human genome, blockchain technology, model-driven software development, data integration, and wiki-like repositories and demonstrates the general applicability of conceptual modeling to various problems in diverse domains. Overall, this book is a source of inspiration for everybody in academia working on the vision of creating a strong, fruitful and creative community of conceptual modelers.With this book the editors and authors want to honor Prof. Antoni Olivé for his enormous and ongoing contributions to the conceptual modeling discipline. It was presented to him on the occasion of his keynote at ER 2017 in Valencia, a conference that he has contributed to and supported for over 20 years. Thank you very much to Antoni for so many years of cooperation and friendship.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference, ICMT 2011, held in Zurich, Switzerland in June 2011.The 14 revised full papers were carefully revised and selected from 51 submissions. The scope of the contributions ranges from theoretical and methodological topics to implementation issues and applications. Topics addressed are such as transformation paradigms and languages, transformation algorithms and strategies, implementation and tools, as well as applications and case studies.
