Preface



For the second time in the history of the MODELS conference series, MODELS
2014 hosted a formal poster session. The MODELS poster session provides an
opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their most
recent advances and experiences in the field of model-driven engineering. The
goal of the poster session is to facilitate interaction between groups of individuals
in an informal setting. Posters can be used to present both early communication
of technical work and late-breaking results in research, practices, and experi-
ences.
   This year we received 13 proposals of which 10 have been finally accepted for
the poster session. All the submitted proposals were peer-reviewed by at least
three reviewers. The top two posters received best poster awards sponsored by
SparxSystems (http://www.sparxsystems.at) with prizes of 400e and 200e,
respectively.
    The posters cover a wide spectrum of model-driven engineering. Four posters
present work concerning modeling in and for the cloud: Zuñiga-Prieto et al.
and Zhang et al. discuss how modeling supports cloud application engineering,
while Corley & Syriani and Acretoaie & Störrle present how the cloud may be
exploited for modeling tasks. Another group of posters is in the context of model
management: Langer et al. focus on semantic model differencing, De Carlos et
al. introduce a scalable model repository based on an embedded database, and
Störrle, Hebig & Knapp present a catalogue of open model repositories. Finally,
there is a third group of posters with a diversity of other topics: Störrle presents
a requirements modeling approach, Ramaswamy et al. discuss the application of
models in the robotics engineering domain, and Störrle et al. evaluate the impact
of diagram layout.
    We would like to thank the authors for submitting their papers and posters
to the poster session track. Furthermore, our thanks go to our sponsor SparxSys-
tems and to the members of the Selection Committee, for their timely and ac-
curate reviews and for their help in choosing and suggestions for improving the
selected posters. Finally, we would like to thank the MODELS 2014 organizers
for their support and assistance during the poster session organization.
