Preface
The symposium on Software Technologies: Applications and Foundations (STAF 2024) was held
on 8-11 July 2024, in Enschede, The Netherlands. Its workshops, as usual, were an essential
complement to the programme of the main conferences of the event.
These proceedings bring together the collective insights and contributions from three work-
shops held during STAF 2024, all with a central focus on Model-Driven Engineering (MDE):
• The Second International Workshop on Agile Model-Driven Engineering (AgileMDE)
• The Fourth International Workshop on Model-Driven Engineering for Smart Internet-of-
Things Systems (MeSS)
• The First Large Language Models for Model-Driven Engineering Workshop (LLM4MDE)
Contributions to other STAF 2024 events — ECMFA, ICGT, WADT and GCM — are published
in their own separate (post)proceedings volumes and thus not included here.
We would like to thank all community members who have contributed to making STAF 2024 a
success. Special thanks to all the authors for submitting and presenting their work, the keynote
speakers for sharing their knowledge and experiences during the symposium, the programme
committee members for their time and care in reviewing the submissions, and the organisers
for putting it all together.

Agile MDE 2024
The Second International Workshop on Agile Model-Driven Engineering served as a platform
for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge work in agile MDE, drawing from both
industrial practice and academic research. Its objectives were to:
• Facilitate exchange of insights between practitioners and researchers regarding the chal-
lenges and potential solutions in agile MDE approaches.
• Identify successful strategies and key factors for achieving success in implementing agile
MDE.
• Foster growth and collaboration within the research and practitioner community in this
field.

– Low-Code and Low-Modeling Strategies for Agile MDE Processes
MeSS 2024
The Fourth International Workshop on Model-Driven Engineering for Smart Internet-of-Things
Systems is one of the most accurate venues to offer researchers a dedicated forum to discuss
fundamental as well as applied research that attempts to exploit model-driven techniques in the
IoT domain.
The key goals of the workshop were:
• foster work in its early stage on novel topics covering fundamental as well as applied
research that attempts to apply model-driven techniques in the IoT domain,
• bring together researchers from the model-driven software development and IoT com-
munities, as well as to promote discussions between theoreticians and practitioners,
and
• discuss the transfer and/or applicability of research results from the MDE community to
IoT industrial case studies.

Next-Generation Semantic Modelling
LLM4MDE 2024
The primary objective of the First Large Language Models for Model-Driven Engineering
Workshop was to explore potential applications where Large Language Models (LLMs) can
support MDE engineers and engage in discussions regarding the implementation of such
solutions.
The objectives were to:
• identify use-cases within MDE that can be assisted by LLMs;
• explore the current technologies that enable the tuning of LLMs to optimise MDE pro-
cesses;
• identify LLMs that could be applied in the MDE field;
• explore MDE technologies for automating the tuning and configuration of LLMs.
