Traceability is a major challenge within model-driven development. It is especially important when automated model transformation and code generation are included in the development process. In order to consistently and iteratively cope with change of models and code artifacts in the development process, we need tools that can (a) manage the relationships between the model elements involved and (b) utilize this information to handle updates, synchronisation, analysis etc.

We are interested in all topics related to traceability in a model-driven development context. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Theories and practical solutions of managing traceability of models and model elements
• Theories and practical solutions of managing traceability between models and code
• Applications of traceability for managing model change
• Applications of traceability for managing text/code change
• Utilization of traceability information for impact analysis, i.e. to understand how changes to model elements impact an overall model
• End-to-end traceability in model-driven software development
