According to SETF's note "A Semantic Web Primer for Object-Oriented Software Developers" (http://www.w3.org/TR/sw-oosd-primer/), the Semantic Web can serve as a platform on which domain models can be created, shared and reused. However, are there any other potential benefits related to the reversal of this approach and the use of Semantic Web concepts in the field of Software Engineering? Could the Web-based, semantically rich formality of OWL be combined with emerging model driven development tools such as the Eclipse Modelling Framework to provide some badly needed improvements in both the process and product of software development activities? What is it about the amalgamation of OWL, UML and the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) that could make a difference? Certainly, there appear to be a number of strong arguments in favour of this approach but consensus on the best way forward, or if there is indeed a way forward at all has not yet formed. This workshop seeks to build on prior events that have begun to explore and evaluate this important area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Visions for Semantic Web driven software engineering - Tools developed or being developed for software engineering using SW languages - Integration or application development projects combining Software Engineering techniques and Semantic Web tools or languages - Lessons learned in Automatic Software Engineering or KBSE applicable to SW based SE - Shortcomings of the Semantic Web with respect to Software Engineering - Uses, extensions and/or issues with ODM - Visions for SW driven software modernization - Integration of UML, OO programming languages and Semantic Web languages - Integration of formal methods and Semantic Web languages - Software specification and Semantic Web languages - Ontologies for software engineering - Component discovery and ontologies - Feature modelling and ontologies - Ontology-based reasoning for software engineering - Semantic annotations in software engineering - Ontology-Driven Architecture: How to introduce Semantic Web technology into mainstream development processes Organizing Committee - Elisa F.
