Abstract

The Eclipse Modeling Project has played an important role in demonstrating the pragmatic benefit of model driven development as an integral aspect of software development in general. Its technology is driven by a wide range of organizations, large and small, commercial and academic, as well as by passionate and dedicated individuals. It is arguably Eclipse's most diverse project and is most certainly the fastest growing. In previous years, the Modeling Symposium at Eclipse Summit Europe attracted a broad spectrum of attendees interested in sharing their ideas and in learning about the activities of others in the community. Without a doubt, this year's symposium will continue that momentum with another great opportunity to meet and greet and to reflect on the past as well as to plan for the future.
