Modelling is THE central task in informatics. Models are used to capture, analyse, understand, discuss, evaluate, specify, design, simulate, validate, test, verify and implement systems. Modelling needs an adequate repertoire of concepts, formalisms, languages, techniques and tools. This enables addressing distributed, concurrent and complex systems.
Objects, components, and agents are fundamental units to organise models. They are also fundamental concepts of the modelling process. Even though software engineers intensively use models based on these fundamental units, and models are the subjects of theoretical research, the relations and potential mutual enhancements between theoretical and practical models have not been sufficiently investigated. There is still the need for better modelling languages, standards and tools. Important research areas are for example UML, BPEL, Petri nets, process algebras, or different kinds of logics. Application areas like business processes, (Web) services, production processes, organisation of systems, communication, cooperation, cooperation, ubiquity, mobility etc. will support the domain dependent modelling perspectives.
Therefore, the workshop addresses all relations between theoretical foundations of models on the one hand and objects, components, and agents on the other hand with respect to modelling in general. The intention is to gather research and application directions to have a lively mutual exchange of ideas, knowledge, viewpoints, and experiences.
The multiple perspectives on modelling and models in informatics are most welcome, since the presentation of them will lead to intensive discussions. Also the way objects, components, and agents are use to build architectures / general system structures and executing units / general system behaviours will provide new ideas for other areas. Therefore, we invite a wide variety of contributions, which will be reviewed by the PC-members who reflect important areas and perspectives for the Modelling of Objects, Components, and Agents (MOCA).

Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings which will appear as a technical report of the Department of Informatics, University of Hamburg, and which will be available at the workshop.
The submissions will be evaluated by the international
programme committee.
It is planned to publish post proceedings after a further review process in a book,
dedicated to the workshop topics.
