Model-driven engineering (MDE) and modeling in general has matured substantially
over the past decade and is increasingly finding its way into industrial practice. As a
consequence, it is now more important than ever to demonstrate the value of model-
ing and MDE through research prototypes as well as polished tools covering a broad
variety of modeling-related activities.
   To support this process and provide recognition to teams building extensive tools,
MODELS 2013 featured a track of formal demonstration sessions to run in parallel
with paper sessions at the conference. We solicited high-quality proposals for this
demonstration track, ranging across innovative tools or innovative uses of existing
tools and tool chains from practice.
   These proceedings collect the tools demonstrated. Demonstrations were selected on
the basis of technical merit, novelty, relevance to the MODELS community, and fea-
sibility of presentation. All the submitted proposals were peer-reviewed by three in-
dependent reviewers. Ten accepted demonstrations were individually presented by
technical members of the team, and focused on technical content and practical issues
of modeling tools and environment; analysis and model management. Each paper in
these proceedings contains a link to a video giving a small insight into the actual
demonstration.
   We would like to thank the authors for submitting their papers to the Demonstra-
tions. We are also grateful to the members of the Selection Committee for their efforts
in the reviewing process and to the MoDELS 2013 organizers for their support and
assistance during the demonstration organization.
