✦ Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Conference and 10th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development, MODELSWARD 2021 and MODELSWARD 2022, was held virtually due to the COVID-19 crisis on February 8–10, 2021 and February 6–8, 2022. The 11 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 121 submissions. The purpose of the International Conference on model-driven engineering and software development is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academics as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in using models and model driven engineering techniques for system development.
