First workshop on the globalization of modeling languages (GEMOC 2013)

The first edition of GEMOC workshop was co-located with the MODELS 2013 conference in Miami, FL, USA. The workshop provided an open forum for sharing experiences, problems and solutions related to the challenges of using of multiple modeling languages in the development of complex softwarebased systems. During the workshop, concrete language composition artifacts, approaches, and mechanisms were presented and discussed, ideas and opinions exchanged, and constructive feedback provided to authors of accepted papers. A major objective was to encourage collaborations and to start building a community that focused on providing solutions that support what we refer to as the globalization of domain-specific modeling languages, that is, support coordinated use of multiple languages throughout the development of complex systems. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions that took place in the first GEMOC 2013 workshop.
