MeMo 2017
Date: Sep 04, 2017 12:00 am – Sep 04, 2017 11:30 am
Location: Berlin, Germany
3rd International Workshop on Meta Models for Process Languages (MeMo) 2017
affiliated with CONCUR
Aim and Topics
Developing appropriate models for systems, programming languages and processes is not easy. Hence, several metamodels have been proposed. Metamodels are framework theories which provide general, structural results simplifying and driving the development of models of specific systems and languages. There are frameworks for operational semantics (such as GSOS, graph rewriting systems, Milner’s bigraphs, coalgebras), for denotational semantics (such as algebraic/bialgebraic specifications, monads, enriched Lawvere theories, mathematical operational semantics), and for logical semantics (such as metalanguages for deductive systems, i.e. Logical Frameworks). The boundaries between these metamodels are blurred, and techniques and ideas from one can be reapplied to the others. Moreover, metamodels can help in the definition of new computation and programming paradigms.
The goal of the MeMo workshop is to bring together researchers working on and with metamodels, with the aim to share insights, uncover similarities and differences, possibilities for cross-fertilization and stimulate further research in this exciting area. We solicit contributions in the theory and applications of meta models: theoretical results, tool implementations, real-world applications, case studies, new application areas, integration of meta-models with programming languages, etc. Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Metamodels for operational semantics: bigraphical reactive systems, coalgebras, psi-calculus, SOS formats, term and graph transformation systems, tile models, ULTraS and FuTS, K-framework, etc.
- Metamodels for denotational semantics: algebraic/bialgebraic specifications, monads, enriched Lawvere theories, mathematical operational semantics, etc.
- Metamodels for logical semantics: metalanguages for deductive systems, concurrent logical frameworks, etc.
- Expressiveness issues of metamodels
- Applications of meta-models to the design of computational paradigms (e.g., for agent-based and context-aware computing)
- Tools, implementations, and experiments
