About the journal
Aims and scope
Close Software and System Modeling (SoSyM) is a quarterly international journal that focuses on theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the development and application of software and system modeling languages, techniques, and methods, such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The aim of the journal is to publish high-quality works that further understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of modeling languages and techniques, present rigorous analyses of modeling experiences, and present scalable modeling techniques and processes that facilitate rigorous and economical development of software.
The journal is unique in its emphasis on theoretical foundations of modeling languages and techniques and on rigorous analyses of "real-world" modeling experiences. The balance of theoretical works and works based on in-depth analyses of experiences will provide researchers with insights that can lead to better modeling languages and techniques, and will provide modeling practitioners with a deeper understanding of modeling languages and techniques that can lead to more effective application.
The journal targets researchers, practitioners and students that have a vested interest in results generated by high-quality modeling research and by rigorously analyzing modeling experiences.
We invite authors to submit papers that discuss and analyze concerns and experiences pertaining to software and system modeling languages, techniques, tools, practices and other facets. The following are some of the topic areas that are of special interest:
Methodological issues Development of modeling standards
Formal syntax and semantics of modeling languages such as the UML
Rigorous model-based analysis
Model composition and transformation
Metamodeling techniques
Measuring quality of models
Modeling support for aspect-oriented development
Ontological approaches to model engineering
Generating test and code artifacts from models
Model development tool environments
Case studies and experience reports with significant lessons learned
Comparative analyses of modeling languages and techniques
Scientific assessment of modeling practices
Each scientific paper will be thoroughly reviewed by at least four reviewers.

Word template
Headings
Please use the decimal system of headings with no more than three levels.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Footnotes
Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables. Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols. Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
Scientific styleScientific style
Please use the standard mathematical notation for formulae, symbols etc.:
Italic for single letters that denote mathematical constants, variables, and unknown quantities
Roman/upright for numerals, operators, and punctuation, and commonly defined functions or abbreviations, e.g., cos, det, e or exp, lim, log, max, min, sin, tan, d (for derivative)
Bold for vectors, tensors, and matrices.
ReferencesReferences
Citation
Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some examples:1. Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3].2. This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman [5].3. This effect has been widely studied [1-3, 7].
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.The entries in the list should be numbered consecutively.
