MULTI 2024, to be held in conjunction with MODELS’24, Linz, Austria, will be the 11th workshop focusing on multi-level modeling. The MULTI workshop series is the premier venue for researchers and practitioners working on multi-level modeling and multi-level software development. Multi-level modeling represents a new object-oriented paradigm for both conceptual modeling and software en gineering. In contrast to conventional two-level approaches, it supports an un bounded number of classification levels and introduces concepts and mechanisms that foster reuse, adaptability, and control. While multi-level languages and tools have reached considerable maturity, the field still offers numerous challenges.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• regular papers (10 pages)
• position papers (5 pages)
• challenge submissions (10 pages)
• industrial abstracts (2 pages)

Challenge papers are intended to elaborate a solution for the previously published MULTI challenges (https://multi-workshop.github.io/#challenge) thus presenting different modeling solutions, promoting a comparison between techniques and languages.

Industrial abstracts are intended to encourage the participation of authors from industry who are invited to present relevant multi-level modeling challenges they face in their fields promoting an exchange of knowledge between industry and academia.

Accepted papers will be included in the MODELS 2024 companion published by the ACM. Accepted industrial abstracts will be published on the MULTI 2024 workshop website.
