Visualizing evolving requirements models with timedURN
Many modern systems are built to be in use for a long time, sometimes spanning several decades. Furthermore, considering the cost of replacing an existing system, existing systems are usually adapted to evolving requirements, some of which may be anticipated. Such systems need to be specified and analyzed in terms of whether the changes introduced into the system still address evolving requirements and continue to satisfy the needs of its stakeholders. Recently, the User Requirements Notation (URN) - a requirements engineering notation standardized by the International Telecommunication Union for the elicitation, specification, and analysis of integrated goal and scenario models - has been extended with support for the modeling and analysis of evolving requirements models by capturing a comprehensive set of changes to a URN model as first-class model concepts in URN. The extension is called TimedURN and this paper builds on TimedURN to analyze and visualize not just an individual time point in the past, present, or future but a time range consisting of a set of time points. Various visualization options are discussed, including their proof-of-concept implementation in the jUCMNav requirements engineering tool.

Development, testing and maintenance of Android apps: challenges, tools, and future directions
Mobile devices have become a permanent fixture in modern society. As such, it is of critical importance that the mobile development process is made as frictionless as possible to facilitate the creation of high-quality apps for end users. This keynote offers a brief introduction to mobile development paradigms, surveys the major categories of research conducted to date towards improving mobile software engineering, examines open challenges, and outlines a roadmap of future work aimed to support mobile developers.

Security testing of second order permission re-delegation vulnerabilities in Android apps
In Android, inter-app communication is a cornerstone feature where apps exchange special messages called Intents in order to integrate with each other and deliver a rich end-user experience. In particular, in case an app is granted special permission, it can dispatch privileged Intents to request sensitive tasks to system components.

Exploring Potency
The original notion of potency -- one of the core features underpinning many forms of multi-level modeling -- has come under pressure in several ways: First, since its inception new modeling challenges have come to the fore that raise serious questions about classic potency. Second, classic potency was developed in the context of constructive modeling and does not accommodate exploratory modeling, thus representing a major hindrance to the unification of constructive and exploratory modeling in a multi-level modeling context. Third, as the discipline of multi-level modeling has evolved, a number of alternative interpretations of potency have emerged. In part, these are based on different underlying principles, yet an explicit recognition of the respective differences at a foundational level and an explicit discussion of the tradeoffs involved has been missing from the literature to date. In this paper, I identify limitations of classic potency, propose to evolve it to a potency notion based on a new foundation which -- along with further novel proposals -- addresses the aforementioned challenges, and finally conduct a comparison to three alternative definitions of potency.

To build, or not to build: ModelFlow, a build solution for MDE projects
Conservative execution, end-to-end traceability, and context-aware resource handling are desirable features in model management build processes. Yet, none of the existing MDE-dedicated build tools (e.g. MTC-Flow, MWE2) support such features. An initial investigation of general-purpose build tools (e.g. ANT, Gradle) to assess whether we could build a workflow engine with support for these desirable features on top of it revealed limitations that could act as roadblocks for our work. As such, we decided to design and implement a new MDE-focused build tool (ModelFlow) from scratch to avoid being constrained by assumptions and technical constraints of these tools. We evaluated whether this decision was sensible by attempting to replicate its behaviour with Gradle in a typical model-driven engineering scenario. The evaluation highlighted scenarios where Gradle could not be extended to achieve the desirable behaviour which validates the decision to not base ModelFlow on top of it.

A tool for automatically selecting optimal model transformation chains
Developing model transformations can be a complex task and as such advanced reuse mechanisms are increasingly recognised as necessary for increasing both development productivity and quality of model transformations. Creating a new transformation by chaining existing ones is one of the possible ways to reuse existing transformations. However, chaining transformations can be an error prone and strenuous task especially in case of multiple potential chains.

Gentleman: a light-weight web-based projectional editor generator
In the activity of software development and modeling, users should benefit from as much freedom as possible to express themselves, and this characteristic also extends to the tools they use. In recent years, projectional editors have proven to be a valid approach to obtain such capabilities by enabling language extension and composition and various notations. However, current solutions are heavyweight, platform-specific, and suffer from poor usability. To better support this paradigm and minimize the risk of arbitrary and accidental constraints in expressivity, we introduce Gentleman, a lightweight web-based projectional editor generator. Gentleman allows the user to define a model and projections for its concepts, and use the generated editor to create the model instances. We demonstrate how to define a projectional editor for Mindmap modeling, covering model definition, text and table projection, multi-projection, and styling to showcase its main features.
