MODELS 2008 was the 11th edition of the series of conferences on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and Systems. The conference was held in Toulouse, France, during the week of September 28 to October 3, 2008. The local arrange- ments were provided by the Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT).
The conference program included three keynote presentations, technical pa- per presentations, two panels, and several workshops and tutorials. The invited keynote speakers were Don Batory (University of Texas, USA), Jeff Kramer (Imperial College London, UK), and Patrick Rauhut (Airbus, Germany).
This volume contains the final versions of the papers accepted for presentation at the conference. The papers cover a wide range of topics from the field including model transformation, model management, domain-specific modeling, modeling language semantics, model analysis, and applications.
We received a record number of 271 full paper submissions from 40 different countries. Of these, 43 papers were submitted by authors from more than one country. The top three countries submitting papers were France (40), Germany (38), and Canada (24). A total of 58 papers were accepted for inclusion in the proceedings. The acceptance rate was therefore 21\%, which is somewhat lower than those of the previous MODELS conferences.
At least three Program Committee or Expert Reviewer Panel members reviewed each paper. Reviewing was thorough, and most authors received detailed comments on their submissions. Conflicts of interest were taken very seriously. No-one participated in any way in the decision process of any paper where a con- flict of interest was identified. In particular, PC members who submitted papers did not have access to information concerning the reviews of their papers.
We would like to thank everyone who submitted papers as well as proposals for workshops and tutorials. We would also like to thank the large number of volunteers who contributed to the success of the conference. Richard van de Stadt deserves special thanks for his prompt and gracious service in supporting special requests for CyberChairPRO, the conference management system used to manage papers submissions and the virtual PC meeting. Finally, we would like to thank our sponsors, ACM and IEEE Computer Society, for their support of the MODELS 2008 conference.
