Responsiveness to ever-evolving requirements, heterogeneous market needs, and technology shifts are only a few of the challenges afecting modern software systems and their Software Architectures (SAs). Such challenges require ad-hoc methodologies, technologies, and tools for being dealt with eficiently. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a software engineering paradigm that uses the principles of abstraction and separation of concerns for tackling the complexity of modern software systems and their development. Models are not considered mere documentation but as well-defined artefacts that can be automatically manipulated using programs, also known as model transformations. In recent years, the interplay between MDE and SA has gained both research and industrial attention. Modelling languages can be used to represent SAs (e.g., AADL, ArchiMate); model transformations can be used to automate almost all tasks of the development process, e.g., design, code generation, simulation and analysis consistency checking, traceability management, etc. The workshop aims at promoting and fostering discussion on novel ideas, techniques and possibly controversial approaches on the interplay of MDE and SA. The workshop aims to establish a forum where both researchers and practitioners can share open challenges and discuss innovative solutions. The second edition of MDE4SA was held in virtual mode on the 14th September 2021 and co-located with the European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA).
and the CEUR Workshop Proceedings open-access publication service for publishing the contributions.
