<h2>SoSyM Journal-First Papers presented at MODELS</h2>

SoSyM is proud to announce that it has a systematic track to submit 
papers "journal first". This initiative enables authors of SoSyM 
articles that have not been presented elsewhere (not even in shorter 
form) to reach a broader conference audience.

<p>

Since 2015 the <a href="http://modelsconference.org">MODELS conference</a> 
and SoSyM have established a continuing collaboration to host the 
presentations of the papers that have been submitted as journal-first papers 
at the conference.

</p><p>

We assume that this is a synergetic situation for both, as it enriches 
the conference program with works that may not fit the standard 
conference format and process, and on the other hand, may draw more 
attention to SoSyM.

<h2>SoSyM is Soliciting Survey Articles</h2>

<p>In order to improve SoSyM by addressing community needs, we asked readers
and authors to suggest the topics and themes that they would like to see in
future issues. Several responses suggested the need for survey/overview
articles that address specific areas of software and systems modeling.
Therefore, we encourage the submission of survey articles that are of
excellent quality (e.g., a systematic literature review of a SoSyM
topic area, or a deep overview of a specific area that summarizes past
work and synthesizes a future research plan while also identifying
open problems).</p>

<p>If you have an idea for a survey paper about a modeling theme,
please consider submitting a scientific assessment in the form of an
article to SoSyM. Survey articles will still be reviewed according to
high-quality standards, but do not need to contain a research experiment
that has novel findings. Authors may also contact us before submission
and provide a suggested topic area, list of authors, and a short argument
that motivates the importance of the area surveyed. Other items that
could be included in the correspondence are: why are the proposed authors
the appropriate experts to serve as an authority to write such a survey,
what comparison and evaluation criteria (e.g., epistemological, empirical,
or any analytical form) will be used to categorize or distinguish the
contributions made in the area. An outline, as well as an initial list
of surveyed papers, tools, or approaches may be included in the
correspondence.</p>

<p>Survey papers for SoSyM must be of high quality and within the scope
of the journal. A paper can only be accepted if it is excellent in all
four of these categories:</p>

<ul>
    <li>Technical quality is high.</li>
    <li>Relevance to significant areas of research or practice is high.</li>
    <li>The level of general interest is high.</li>
    <li>The presentation is effective.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Aims and Scope</h2>

<p>Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM) is a bi-monthly international journal 
(published in English) that focuses on theoretical and practical issues 
pertaining to the development and application of modeling languages and 
techniques for software, as well as engineered and natural systems and 
processes. The aim of the journal is to publish high-quality works that 
(1) further understanding of the theoretical and foundational underpinnings 
of modeling languages and techniques, (2) present rigorous analyses of 
modeling experiences, and (3) introduce scalable modeling techniques and 
processes that facilitate rigorous and efficient development and 
understanding of software and systems. SoSyM encompasses several 
communities involving modeling languages and techniques, such as 
Model-Driven Engineering, Modeling and Simulation, or Data Engineering.</p>

<p>The journal is unique in its emphasis on theoretical foundations of
modeling languages and techniques, and on rigorous analyses of
"real-world" modeling experiences. The balance of theoretical works and
works based on in-depth analyses of experiences offers insights
to researchers that can inform future investigations into better
modeling languages and techniques, and provides modeling practitioners with
a deeper understanding of modeling languages and techniques that
can lead to more effective application.</p>

<p>The journal targets researchers, practitioners and students who have
a vested interest in results generated by high-quality modeling
research and by rigorously analyzed modeling experiences. We invite
authors to submit papers that discuss and analyze research
challenges and experiences pertaining to software and system modeling
languages, techniques, tools, practices and other facets. The following
are some of the topic areas that are of
special interest, but the journal publishes on a wide
range of software and systems modeling concerns:</p>

<ul type="disc">
    <li>Domain-specific models and modeling standards</li>
    <li>Model-based testing techniques</li>
    <li>Model-based simulation techniques</li>
    <li>Formal syntax and semantics of modeling languages such as the UML</li>
    <li>Rigorous model-based analysis</li>
    <li>Model composition, refinement and transformation</li>
    <li>Software Language Engineering</li>
    <li>Modeling Languages in Science and Engineering</li>
    <li>Language Adaptation and Composition</li>
    <li>Metamodeling techniques</li>
    <li>Measuring quality of models and languages</li>
    <li>Ontological approaches to model engineering</li>
    <li>Generating test and code artifacts from models</li>
    <li>Model synthesis</li>
    <li>Methodology</li>
    <li>Model development tool environments</li>
    <li>Modeling Cyberphysical Systems</li>
    <li>Data intensive modeling</li>
    <li>Derivation of explicit models from data</li>
    <li>Case studies and experience reports with significant modeling lessons learned</li>
    <li>Comparative analyses of modeling languages and techniques</li>
    <li>Scientific assessment of modeling practices</li>
</ul>
