Preface to the Doctoral Symposium


  The goal of the Doctoral Symposium at STAF 2016 was to provide a forum in which
PhD students could present their work in progress. The symposium supported students
by providing independent and constructive feedback about their already completed and,
more importantly, planned research work. The symposium was accompanied by promi-
nent experts who were actively participating in critical discussions.
  Relevant fields within Software Engineering included:

   • Models: reasoning, execution, management, testing and validation

   • Model transformations: paradigms, development, applications, tools

   • Domain Specific Languages

   • Model-Driven Engineering

  Any topic of interest for one of the conferences that took place within STAF 2016 was
highly welcomed.
  The organizers would like to thank the PC members who actively participated in the
discussion. Thanks go also to the participating students who also asked questions and
gave constructive feedback to the other PhD candidates. Very special thanks to Tanja
Mayerhofer for handling the logistics.

Preface to the STAF Projects Showcase
The aim of the Projects Showcase event at STAF 2016 was to provide an opportunity for
researchers and practitioners involved in ongoing or completed research projects related
to foundations and applications of software technologies to share results, experiences,
ideas, on-going work, and knowledge that can lead to fruitful inter-project collaboration.
The call for papers of the event solicited contributions disseminating the objectives and
results of national and international research projects, including outcomes of specific de-
liverables, advances beyond the state of the art, overall innovation potential, exploitation
approach and (expected) impact, marketing value, barriers and obstacles.
   Seven papers were accepted for presentation and publication in the proceedings of the
event, which reported on different types of national, international and in-house research
and development projects. We would like to acknowledge the hard work of the members
of the Program Committee and the contribution of the authors of submitted papers to
the success of this event.
