Foreword: This book contains the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development (MODELSWARD 2021). This conference is sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), and is organized in cooperation with the Institute of Engineering and Management (IEM), and the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE). MODELSWARD provides a venue for researchers, engineers, academics, as well as industry practitioners from across the world to present the results of their research and development work on the use of models and model-driven engineering methods and technologies for advanced software development. This year MODELSWARD was, exceptionally, held as a web-based event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, from 8–10 February, 2021. MODELSWARD received 62 paper submissions from 24 countries of which 16% were accepted as full papers. This reflects the organizers’ commitment to ensuring a high-quality scientific event. A double-blind paper review was performed for each submission by a Program Committee team of established researchers and domain experts. To recognize the best submissions and the best student contributions, awards were conferred during the closing session of the conference. These were selected based on a combination of the submission review results, as assessed by the Program Committee, and the quality of the presentation, as assessed by session chairs. All papers presented at this conference will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library shortly following the event. A short selection of papers presented at the conference were chosen to be extended and revised for subsequent publication in the CCIS Series book to be published by Springer, and in the Springer Nature Computer Science Journal. The conference program included three invited talks delivered by internationally distinguished speakers, namely: Schahram Dustdar (Vienna University of Technology, Austria), Ralf Lämmel, (Facebook, London, UK / University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany), and Jim Logan (Director of Semantic Technologies & Interoperability at No Magic, Inc., United States). We would like to express our gratitude to all the people who contributed to MODELSWARD 2021. First of all, to the authors, whose excellent work was essential for this conference; and second, to all members of the Program Committee and auxiliary reviewers, who volunteered their valuable time and expertise to help us assemble the conference technical program. We would also thank the invited speakers for their outstanding contributions, by sharing their knowledge and vision. Last but not least, special thanks go to all the members of the INSTICC team whose hard work was fundamental to the success of the conference. (More)
