This workshop is intended to be a working event focused on understanding and defining the foundations for consistency and change management of software systems within the scope of artifact-to-artifact (model-to-model) traceability. The workshop will explore topics related to:
- A formal definition of model to model traceability.
- Traceability between artifacts and processes.
- The semantics of traceability links.
- Recovery of traceability links.
- Visualization of traceability links.
- Interoperable approaches to support traceability.
- Traceability in emerging forms of software engineering including production lines, frameworks, components, etc.
Specific workshop goals include:
- Broadening awareness within the software engineering community of the potential for the application of traceability.
- Facilitating the exchange of ideas and interaction between international researchers.
- Defining open and key research problems faced in realizing usable tools/approach for traceability.
- Constructing a foundation of materials for future research on traceability.
