Today's software products and their underpinning process models are  becoming more complex and costly, making the realization of these products  an increasingly difficult task.  The OMG’s Unified Modeling Language (UML) and, more recently Model Driven Architecture (MDA), play important roles in the development and implementation of heterogeneous software systems.  Furthermore, the ability to reason about the properties of a system built through an integrated system life-cycle is of great concern to modern developers. The main goal of this Workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry.

You are invited to submit a paper that documents experience in research and use of the UML and MDA in either industrial or academic work.  Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. The Workshop will be held in conjunction with 2007 International Multiconferece in Computer Science and Computer Engineering (IMCSE ‘07). All accepted papers will be published in the Workshop proceedings. Selected papers will be invited for  journal publications.
