Requirements for publication | MODELS 2024 - Technical Track - MODELS 2024 (researchr.org) | Technical papers should report on innovative research in modeling or model-driven engineering activities. They should describe a novel contribution to the field and carefully demonstrate the novelty by referencing relevant related literature.Technical papers will be evaluated based on originality, soundness, relevance, significance, strength of validation, quality of presentation, and quality of related work discussions. Submissions must clearly and explicitly describe what is novel about their contribution in comparison to prior work. Results must be validated by formal proofs, rigorous demonstrations (e.g., rigorous case studies or simulations), or empirical evaluations (e.g., controlled experiments or surveys). Authors are strongly encouraged to make the artifacts used for the evaluation publicly available, e.g., via a GitHub repository or an alternative that is expected to provide long-term availability. A respective artifact evaluation process is described below.Or is it more New Ideas and Vision paper?
New ideas and vision papers describe original, non-conventional research positions in modeling or model-driven engineering and/or approaches that deviate from standard practice. They describe well-defined revolutionary research ideas that are in the early stage of the investigation. They might provide evidence that common wisdom should be challenged, present unifying theories about existing modeling research that can provide new insights or lead to the development of new technologies or approaches, or apply modeling technology to unprecedented application areas.New ideas and vision papers are either short or long papers. Both will be assessed primarily on their degree of originality and potential for advancing innovation in the field. As such, new ideas and vision papers are expected to follow a specific format, and provide a compelling and revolutionary argument. Note that this category is not intended for foundation or practice papers without sufficient evaluation. Such papers will not be accepted. Submissions must clearly describe shortcomings of the state-of-the-art and the relevance, correctness, and impact of the idea/vision. New ideas and vision papers need not be fully worked out and a detailed roadmap need not be provided. The use of worked-out examples to support new ideas is strongly encouraged. Long papers must also supply some degree of validation. However, we accept less rigorous methods of validation such as compelling arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial examples. Authors are also strongly encouraged to make any artifacts publicly available, e.g., via a GitHub repository or an alternative that is expected to provide long-term availability. A respective artifact evaluation process is described below. |
