The ACM International Systems and Software Product Line Conference (SPLC) is a premier forum where researchers, practitioners, and educators can present and discuss the most recent ideas, trends, experiences, and challenges in the area of software and systems product line engineering. Conference events include opportunities to hear industry leaders' real-world experiences and researchers' latest ideas and to learn from both.

Research Papers
(https://2025.splc.net/call-for-papers/call-for-research-papers/)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We invite original, theoretically or empirically validated submissions addressing all areas of software product lines research (see the call for a list of topics). This year particularly emphasizes ‘Data-intensive Software Product Lines’, acknowledging the fact that modern software systems need to manage large data sets along with highly configurable software. With this theme, we encourage contributions that tackle data management problems along the software product line. For instance, DevOps and orchestrating distributed systems are crucial activities to support data-intensive product lines.

Challenges and Solutions Papers
(https://2025.splc.net/call-for-papers/call-for-challenges-and-solutions/)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We highly encourage community members to provide concrete sets of case studies and problems that showcase SPL-related challenges. First, there is a “call for cases” where researchers or practitioners are encouraged to contribute a concrete case study. Second, after the accepted cases are published, there is a “call for solutions”. Both, accepted case descriptions and solutions, will be included in the conference proceedings.

This year, we are placing special emphasis in our call for cases on the need for actionable benchmarks and competition, akin to those prevalent in the machine learning and SAT communities, as developed on platforms like Kaggle.
