FPVM 2024 — Call for papers

3rd International Workshop on Foundations and Practice of Visual Modeling

22-27 July 2024 - Linz, Austria

https://fpvm.github.io/

Co-located with: Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS)

================================================================

Scope

The sheer complexity of software systems nowadays makes modeling artifacts
pervasive throughout development, be it use requirements, analysis, design,
or development. Whether models are used for communication or prescriptive
purposes, their syntax and pragmatics affect usability and represent
contributory factors concerning accidental complexity. The diversity of
modeling notations and approaches permits classifying them according to
different taxonomies. General-purpose and domain-specific modeling
languages can be created with different intended scopes. However, all of
them can use graphical, textual, maps, matrices, tables, and combinations
regarding their concrete syntax. These representations have the undoubted
advantage of capturing and increasing understanding of complex software
systems and better grasping their rationale. In essence, a visual modeling
language creates a joint base for the modeler by improving communication
and laying a solid foundation for the implementation.

FPVM 2024 aims to promote and foster discussions on visual modeling
languages, including novel and visionary ideas and techniques, notations
for the generations of support tools for visual languages, and the
usability of tools and meta-tools.

Topics of interest are but are not limited to

   -

   Visualization techniques and methodologies for modeling languages
   -

   Visualizing models for different stakeholders/readers
   -

   Visualizing errors in models (incompleteness, inconsistency,
   incorrectness)
   -

   Guidance in modeling languages
   -

   Visualizing version data of models
   -

   Visualizing different views
   -

   Complex or large-scale model visualization
   -

   Usability for visual modeling languages
   -

   Meta-editors novel approaches
   -

   Development of collaborative (human-in-the-loop) visual modeling
   languages
   -

   Visual Modeling Platforms for cloud applications
   -

   LowCode/NoCode techniques and methodologies




================================================================

Submissions

We solicit papers of the following types:

- Full papers must not exceed 10 pages for the main text, including all
figures, tables, appendices, etc.

- Short papers must not exceed 5 pages for the main text, including all
figures, tables, appendices, etc.

Only two more pages containing references are permitted.

 Contributions must be written in English, adhere to the ACM Style for both
LaTeX and Word users, and be submitted through EasyChair. LaTeX users must
use the provided acmart.cls and ACM-Reference-Format.bst without
modification, enable the conference format in the preamble of the document
(i.e., \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}), and use the ACM reference
format for the bibliography (i.e.,
\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}). The review option adds line
numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their
comments.

All submissions must be original work and must not have been previously
published or being under review elsewhere.

The accepted papers will be published in the joint volume of proceedings
for the MODELS 2024 satellite and co-located events.

For each accepted paper and abstract, at least one of the authors must
register for the workshop, participate fully in the workshop, and present
the paper at the workshop
