Call for Participation!
=======================

     SA-MDE 2016 Semantically-Aware Model-Driven Engineering
             Monday 31st October 2016
http://2016.splashcon.org/track/samde2016

With the model-driven engineering (MDE) approach to software, rather 
than building each system from scratch, one specifies a metamodel 
covering a whole class of similar systems, provides a universal 
generator to transform metamodel instances into executable programs, and 
specifies each system by a higher-level model conforming to the 
metamodel. When the application domain concerns semantically rich 
datasets—with structured entities, interlinked data, and sophisticated 
integrity constraints—then the MDE tools should support this richness: 
in the metamodel, in individual system models, and in the generation 
process.

The ALIGNED project is funded by the EU Horizon-2020 programme, bringing 
together researchers and user communities in model-driven software 
engineering and in semantic technologies and linked data, aiming to 
improve the quality and efficiency of engineering workflows in 
data-intensive activities. The project is developing semantically-aware 
model-driven tooling, extending the existing Booster system and Model 
Catalogue for integration with Linked Data ontologies and datasets. This 
tutorial on Semantically-Aware Model-Driven Engineering will provide an 
introduction to these tools, including hands-on experience.

In this workshop, we present the Model Catalogue and Semantic Booster, 
tools respectively for curating and exploiting semantically rich data in 
a MDE workflow, which are under development as part of ALIGNED. 
Participants will learn what the tools can do, gain hands-on experience 
with using them, and be able to contribute challenges and suggestions 
for future development.

See you in Amsterdam!
