Motivations and Objectives

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a popular way to specify, design, implement, deploy, and maintain complex systems with high quality and lower costs. These systems combine multiple areas of engineering, including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, biochemical, control, signal processing, and more. To represent all these fields, a large number of heterogeneous models are required. However, managing these models correctly can be challenging, especially when different teams work on them simultaneously, which is common in collaborative and concurrent engineering. This activity is called Model Management (MoM), and includes activities beyond maintaining model consistency, such as ensuring traceability, managing model views, model validity, model versions, and development workflows.

MoM is crucial for industries that are moving from traditional engineering methods to MBSE, with many approaches to MoM, having been proposed by both academia and industry. However, there is still no unified theory or approach to tackle this problem. To address this, the second edition of the MoM workshop aims to bring together international researchers and practitioners from academia and research for an intense one-day workshop and a half-day challenge. The goal is to improve the state-of-the-art in MoM, develop new collaborations, and define future research directions.

Workshop Purpose

We want to bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of MoM from academia and industry, to identify possible points of synergy, common problems and solutions, tool-building aspects and a vision for the future of this research area. The workshop will be highly interactive, with a significant portion of the workshop dedicated to discussions.

Regular research papers from academic and industry authors will present novel research results on the workshop’s topics of interest. We will also encourage the submission of out-of-the-box presentations, which are not deeply researched yet but can lead to new insights, discussions, and future collaborations.

We will also invite the submission of exemplars, which consists of use cases of systems development environments made of a set of modeling languages and tools jointly used to support engineering activities. Such papers should explicitly detail the underlying formalisms, languages, tools and workflows deployed to support such activities, all expressed similarly to enable comparison and extract MoM common practices, problems and solutions.

This year’s edition will also host a Challenge to showcase and compare MoM tools, to lay down the foundations of the theory, define common techniques, and identify commonly proposed, highly expected, and still not proposed features for MoM tools.

Venue

This Second International Workshop on Model Management (MoM) will take place on October 2025 and is co-located with the 28th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2025).

Submission Guidelines

Submissions are divided into two categories: Challenge MoM Papers and Workshop Papers. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by at least three PC members.

Papers must be submitted electronically through the MoM 2025 EasyChair web page.

Submissions must conform to the IEEE formatting instructions.

Please note the IEEE Authors Rights and Responsibilities.

Finally, IEEE requires the use of ORCIDs. LaTeX users should use the “orcidlink” package, \hypersetup{pdfborder={0 0 0}}, and \orcidlink{XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX} after each author name.

Workshop Sumbissions

We invite submissions on a range of topics related to Model-Based Engineering.

Submission categories:

• Full research papers (10 pages max) presenting a novel innovative approach
• Exemplar descriptions (10 pages max) describing a Model-Based Engineering practice, highlighting both the processes at play and the formalisms, languages and/or tools used to support these activities, and the way these artifacts are managed
• Short papers (5 pages max) present new ideas or early-stage research, extensively discuss the experiences of the researchers of practitioners with a MoM approach or tool

MoM Challenge Response Papers

Respondents to the MoM Challenge must submit a paper describing their approach. To indicate that the paper is related to the Challenge, please include the keyword challenge in your submission.

• Challenge response papers (10 pages max) describing your approach to solve the challenge, including your tools used, and the results obtained with respect to the challenge requirements. You must clearly mention which version of which challenge is towards (by clearly provinding the Zenodo DOI of that challenge in your abstract).

All papers will be published with the main conference’s workshop proceedings and on the website.
