The mini-track highlights the growing and essential importance of modeling to the systems development process and systems building efforts. This mini-track provides an outlet for researchers engaged in research in the area of method engineering and modeling language development, use, modification, and assessment. The objective is to work toward a more standardized set of concepts which would in turn benefit researchers, educators, and practitioners in this field. We welcome both technical and empirical pieces, and are open to all aspect of research methods (e.g., survey, experimentation, case studies, action research, etc.)
