This book constitutes revised papers of the proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on System Analysis and Modeling, SAM 2016, held in Saint-Melo, France, in October 2016. The 15 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. The contributions are organized in topical theme named: Technology-Specific Aspects of Models.
The volume reflects the five sessions of the conference. The first two sessions are closely aligned with the conference theme with a session on the Internet of Things and a session on Technology-specific Aspects . The other three sessions cover aspects regarding modeling languages and model-driven development in general and were organized in the sessions Languages , Configurations and Features , and Patterns and Compilation .
