Cloud computing is enormously promising in terms of providing scalable and elastic infrastructure for applications; MDE is enormously promising in terms of automating tedious or error prone parts of systems engineering. There is potential in identifying
synergies between MDE and cloud computing; this is the focus of the workshop.

Workshop Goals:
We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners working in MDE or cloud computing,
who are interested in identifying, developing or building on existing synergies. We
aim to identify opportunities for using MDE to support the development of cloud-based
applications (MDE for the cloud), as well as opportunities for using cloud infrastructure
to enable MDE in new and novel ways (MDE in the cloud). 

Topics:
- Metamodels and novel domain-specific languages to support development of cloud-based applications.
- Modelling and metamodelling of cloud platforms.
- Model transformation for cloud-based applications.
- Model-to-text transformations for specific cloud platforms.
- Experience reports of deploying MDE tools and technologies on the cloud.
- Novel applications of MDE enabled by use of cloud platforms.
- Approaches to enabling “modelling as a service”.
- Semantic annotation techniques and descriptions of modelling services.
- Approaches for modelling service matching.
- Scalability issues for MDE in the cloud.
- Methods and experience reports focusing on model-based interoperability between cloud platforms/vendors.
- Cloud-specific development scenarios enabled by or enriched by use of MDE.
- Specific non-functional cloud concerns (e.g., security, information governance) that
    may be addressed by MDE principles or practices.
- Case studies and experience reports.
- Position statements setting a research agenda for MDE in/for the cloud.
