Ten Year Most Influential Paper Award

This year, MODELS marks its ten year anniversary. The conference, formerly known as the <> Conference, began life in 1998 as the First International Workshop on the Unified Modeling Language and took place in Mulhouse, France. In the years following this first event, the practice of modeling has changed dramatically. Indeed, the conference itself has undergone changes, growing in stature to a major international conference, one of the most well respected conferences in software engineering research, and broadening its scope beyond the original focus on UML. At this year's conference, we will celebrate the first decade of the conference with a number of special events. In addition, we will instigate a Ten Year Most Influential Paper Award, which will be given this year for a paper from UML98 that has had greatest impact.

The UML as a Formal Modeling Notation - Andy Evans, Robert B. France, Kevin Lano, Bernhard Rumpe
