From 2025 onwards, the Model Management workshop includes an additional half a day of discussion of submitted responses to the Model Management Challenge. The MoM community is invited to respond to this challenge with submissions describing solutions expressed in atechnology of the authors’ choice. Authors should emphasize the merits and limitations of their solution according to the criteria defined in the challenge description. 

The challenge aims to lay down the foundations of the theory, common techniques, and identify commonly proposed, highly expected, and novel features for MoM approaches and tools. The challenge does not aim to be a competition but a forum to gather interested stakeholders in MoM while providing an opportunity for them to discuss aspects of their approach to MoM, with a level playing field.

What is in a challenge?

Each challenge typically consists of:

• artefacts (possibly, and most likely in multiple formalisms)
• descriptions of the links between these artefacts
• the (possibly multiple) challenge scenarios – descriptions of changes, and how the changes affect other artefacts, what strategies are required by MoM solutions

This year’s challenges

This year, we kick off with the inaugural challenge on ‘model management during the configuration of a satellite’. 

The challenge contents are provided here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15285132

The public git repository of the challenge is here: https://github.com/mom-challenge/satellite-config

Responding to a challenge

Challenge responses should conform to the requirements described on https://mom2025.wp.imt.fr/submission/ and in the description of that challenge.

Challenge responses are peer-reviewed single-blind, and if accepted, will be published along with the workshop/conference proceedings.

Contributing new challenges

The MoM community is welcome to contribute new challenges for future editions of the workshop. 

To contribute new challenges please refer to the requirements on https://github.com/mom-challenge

Please note that challenge descriptions are not considered for publication.

Contributing to existing challenges

We also encourage our colleagues to add to the github repo (if) they used artefacts from a challenge in a different format / formalism than already provided in the repository.

Please refer to a challenge’s individual contributing guidelines to contribute to that challenge (artefacts, stories, bug-fixes, all are welcome).
