Call for Submissions

Are you teaching MDE or modelling? Do you want to share and exchange exercises and assignments? The new MDENet Education Platform can help with that. And the MDENet Education Competition is your opportunity to try it out and win! We’re calling people to contribute their modelling and MDE assignments in the MDENet Education Platform format.

You can find out more about the MDENet Education Platform and the people involved here.

Scope and objectives of the Education Competition

MDENet is an EPSRC-funded expert network aiming to bring together research and practice in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE).

MDENet wants to encourage more students and MDE practitioners to engage with MDE technology and to bring these people into the community. We aim to accomplish that by offering you an opportunity to develop and produce learning assignments for MDE/modelling students to be easily accessible to students. MDENet will showcase your assignments to the wider community to help further reduce the barrier to entry for MDE.

Submission Process

The MDENet Education Competition is open from December 5th.

Applications consist of filling out this form. We have set up a GitHub Classroom where you can get a private repository and then you need to include that link into the form.

Eligibility

Every submitted project within the scope of MDENet will be published. By default, assignments will be made public by the time we judge the competition. If you would like this to be otherwise, please let us know. Nonetheless, all assignments must be made public by August 1st 2024.

This call is open to all: Undergraduate, Masters, PhD students, Academics and MDE practitioners.

Awards

A panel will review all submitted projects and a decision will be made on the best projects.

The best project will be awarded an Amazon voucher worth £100. Other awards will be made at the discretion of the organisers.
