1 Introduction The modeling community has made significant progress in recent years regarding developing software and systems with enhanced productivity and quality. Leveraging the critical entities emerging in the development process and their correspondences allows us to design, analyze, and develop software and systems relying on formalized notations that are amenable to computer-based automation. The European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications (ECMFA) is one of the primary scientific venues where almost any aspect of modeling is discussed among worldclass experts from academia and industry.
2 Special section background and overview This special section aims to provide a representative sample of advanced research in modeling, model-based engineering, and model-driven engineering emerging from the 13th and 14th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications (ECMFA) as part of STAF 2017 and 2018. The ECMFA follows a rigorous review process with each manuscript reviewed at least by three independent experts, followed by an in-depth discussion to finalize the technical program. Conflicts of interest were prevented based on author and abstract screening. All special section reviewers were recruited from the original pool of reviewers for the conference papers. Additional reviewers have also been added for the extended versions. Each special section paper has undergone multiple improvement cycles with associated rebuttal

letters. Finally, from the initial submissions we selected nine articles (three from the 2017 edition and six from 2018 one). The selected papers are briefly highlighted in the following: – In their paper Integrated model-driven development of self-adaptive user interfaces, Enes Yigitbas, Ivan Jovanovikj, Kai Biermeier, Stefan Sauer, and Gregor Engels present a model-driven development approach for self-adaptive user interfaces that takes not only the development of the UI into account, but also context management and UI adaptation at runtime. These three coupled aspects are handled in an integrated manner using the standard UI modeling language IFML, combined with new modeling languages ContextML for context management, and AdaptML for UI runtime adaptation rules. – In their contribution Automatic generation of UML profile graphical editors for Papyrus, Ran Wei, Athanasios Zolotas, Horacio Hoyos Rodriguez, Simos Gerasimou, Dimitris Kolovos, and Richard Freeman Paige show how metamodel annotations and model transformation tec
