20th Workshop on Models and Evolution 2026 (ME'26)
About us
The workshop aims to provide a forum to present and discuss bleeding-edge research contributions related to model evolution, and to provide visibility to novel technical solutions, early new ideas, and outside-the-box approaches. This year's special focus is on model evolution and maintenance in Digital Twins.
