Model-based design is a process that uses mathematical and visual representations to address problems of specification, simulation, verification, validation, integration and deployment of designing complex systems. This includes techniques of abstraction, compositionality and virtualization.  

Topics include but are not limited to:

  * Model-based design and simulation frameworks for large and small-scale systems.  This includes cyber-physical systems.
  * Industrial applications using model-based design and simulation frameworks
  * Software architecture for model-based design and simulation frameworks
  * Evaluations of existing model-based design frameworks

Authors must strictly follow [[authors_instructions|SCSC guidelines]] for paper submission.
