Animation of the scientific community

Animation of the local scene

In 2009, the AtlanMod team initiated a regular series of events called Les Jeudis des Modèles (http://www.emn.fr/z-info/jmodeles/ ). This event has successfully continued during 2011. Two/three times per year approximately, an international expert from the model engineering community is invited to come and present a subject of research or innovation of interest to the scientific and industrial community. These events typically attract between 30 and 60 researchers, students and industrials. In fact, Les Jeudis des Modèles event has become a regional rendez-vous of the model engineering community, attracting people from Rennes, Vannes, La Rochelle, and many other places beyond Nantes. Among others, we have invited Patrick Albert (IBM), Nicolas Rouquette (NASA/JPL), Ed Merks (Macro Modeling), Ivar Jacobson (IJ company), Sridhar Iyengar (IBM) and Jon Whittle (Professor at Lancaster University). It should be noted that these visits allow us to organize different meetings between the researchers of the AtlanMod team and the various industrials attending the main presentation.

Besides this, as part of our commitment to the Eclipse community, we co-organized (together with the Obeo company) an Eclipse DemoCamp event to celebrate the new Eclipse Indigo version release. The Eclipse DemoCamps are an opportunity to showcase all of the technology being built by the Eclipse community and, for the team, an excellent opportunity to meet other Eclipse enthusiasts in the region and show them the Eclipse tools developed by the team.

Organization

In 2011, the AtlanMod team has coorganized the following events:

• J. Cabot has been PC Chair (together with Eelco Visser ) of the Int. Conf. on Model Transformation 2011 (http://www.model-transformation.org/ICMT2011/ )

• M. Tisi has coorganized the 3rd International Workshop on Model Transformation with ATL (http://www.emn.fr/z-info/atlanmod/index.php/MtATL2011 ) (MtATL 2011) co-located with the TOOLS conferences in Zurich.

• J. Cabot has coorganized the OCL and Textual Modeling Workshop (OCL'11) (http://gres.uoc.edu/OCL2011/ ) co-located with the TOOLS conference in Zurich.

• J. Cabot has coorganized the MELO 2011 - Model-Driven Engineering, Logic and Optimization: friends or foes? Workshop. Co-located with ECMFA 2011 in Birmingham UK.
