ESMDE'08
Empirical Studies of Model-Driven Engineering Workshop
Overview
It is often difficult to rigorously evaluate Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) technologies. In particular, the challenges associated with the involvement of human subjects and organizations in empirical studies of MDE need to be tacked. The choice of research method (experiments, case studies or action research) also entails important tradeoffs with regards to the applicability and validity of results and needs careful consideration. The aim of this workshop is to discuss ways in which proposed model-driven engineering (MDE) technologies should be
evaluated, with a specific emphasis on how to plan, conduct, analyze and report the results of empirical studies.
The emphasis will be on empirical studies involving human users, since MDE technologies are typically expected to be used by software engineers to improve various quality aspects of software systems and the productivity of software development. The goal of the workshop is to pave the way for the development of a MDE-specific framework for
empirical evaluation of MDE technologies, or at least provide a minimum standard for evaluation that published work in the MDE community should abide by.
