The 12th International Model-Driven Requirements Engineering (MoDRE) workshop continues to provide a forum to discuss the challenges of Model-Driven Development (MDD) for Requirements Engineering (RE). Building on the interest of MDD for design and implementation, RE may benefit from MDD techniques when properly balancing flexibility for capturing varied user needs with formal rigidity required for model transformations as well as high-level abstraction with information richness. MoDRE seeks to explore those areas of RE that have not yet been formalized sufficiently to be incorporated into an MDD environment as well as how RE models can benefit from emerging topics in the model-driven community, such as flexible, collaborative, and AI-enabled modeling. We would like to explore how MoDRE can benefit from research methods and techniques used in other disciplines, such as sociology, as well as how MoDRE can help to ensure human values, ethics, sustainability, equality, and fairness in software systems. We look forward to identifying new challenges for MoDRE, discussing on-going work and potential solutions, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of MDD approaches for RE, fostering stimulating discussions on the topic, and providing opportunities to apply MDD approaches for RE.
Submission Guidelines
Participants are invited to submit four kinds of papers:
- Research papers with a length of eight (8) to ten (10) pages, reporting on findings for problems related to model-driven requirements engineering that are novel and improve on or analyze existing solutions.
- Short papers with a length of four (4) to five (5) pages, reporting on work in progress of interest to the model-driven requirements engineering community.
- Position papers with a length of four (4) to five (5) pages, reporting on ideas and visions for the future of model-driven requirements engineering.
- Industry papers, with a length of four (4) to ten (10) pages, describing experiences related to the adoption of model-driven requirements engineering practices in the industry or highlighting future challenges.
Papers have to present original content. Previously published papers or papers accepted or under review for other publications are ineligible for submission to MoDRE 2022. Papers must be in pdf format, written in English, formatted according to the IEEE formatting instructions, and submitted via EasyChair. While RE 2022 follows a double-blind reviewing process, MoDRE 2022 does not.
List of Topics
In line with the research themes of this year’s RE conference, the workshop topics include efforts for building bridges with other disciplines so that software systems become more sustainable, more equitable, and fairer. However, submissions are also welcome in all workshop topics such as:
- Modeling languages and metamodels for requirements engineering approaches.
- Modeling languages and metamodels for supporting separation of concerns in requirements models.
- Modeling languages and metamodels for non-functional requirements.
- Modeling languages and metamodels for requirements engineering for specific domains, such as cyber-physical systems and IoT, Big Data, AI applications, and Industry 4.0.
- Synchronicity and consistency of different requirements models and views.
- Requirements models for machine learning and deep learning solutions.
- Requirements models at runtime.
- Requirements models for human values and ethics.
- Automatic analysis and simulation of requirements models.
- Traceability and correctness of model transformations involving requirements models.
- AI approaches for model transformations involving requirements models.
- Flexible and collaborative modeling in requirements engineering.
- Empirical studies on model-driven requirements engineering.
- Automatic generation of tools for RE using MDD.
- Requirements models for sustainability, fairness, or equality.
- Requirements models for Green IT.
- Research methods from other disciplines, such as sociology, for eliciting requirements models.
Moreover, industry papers covering topics such as the following are highly welcome:
- Industry problems and practices.
- Success stories about adopting model-driven requirements engineering in industry.
- Industrial empirical studies.

Publication
Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion into the IEEE Digital Library. Workshop presentations will be posted on the MoDRE website. Acceptance of a paper implies that one of the authors registers for the workshop to present the submission; failure to do so by the early registration deadline will result in the paper being withdrawn from the workshop proceedings. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the workshop (e.g., by not placing it into the IEEE Digital Library) if the paper is not presented at the workshop.
