-----------------------------------------------------------
MDPLE 2011 - Call for Papers 3rd International Workshop on Model-Driven Product Line Engineering held in conjunction with ECMFA 2011 Birmingham, UK, 6-9 June 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- EXTENDED Deadline: 14th April 2011 http://lero.ie/mdple2011/ ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. Workshop Summary and Goals The fundamental premise of product line engineering (PLE) is that the investment in a family of products pays off later by allowing systematic, efficient derivation of products. This should be automated as much as possible, which can be achieved via model-driven engineering (MDE) techniques. Research in PLE and MDE has many intersections. PLE leverages MDE to specify variability, domain concepts, configurations and more. (Semi-) automated product derivation requires mappings between the models on different abstraction layers and model transformations to derive an implementation from a configuration. In addition, latest research shows the increasing need for concepts to deal with very large and evolving systems. Product lines can no longer rely on an immutable scope but need to be considered as evolving systems which can span over organizational boundaries. Thus, there is a need to investigate latest concepts from MDE like model-driven evolution and co-evolution, consistency management, multi-paradigm modelling, etc. In this workshop we aim to bring together researchers and practitioners to foster the exchange of concepts and ideas between them to address these challenges. ----------------------------------------------------------- 2. Workshop Topics We are interested in the application of concepts from MDE to Product Line Engineering, including (but not limited to): * Modelling of software product lines * Variability modelling * Evolution of product lines * Complexity handling and scalability * Automated and interactive tool-support * Feature-oriented / Aspect-oriented approaches * Multiple binding time and run-time variability * Advanced approaches and process models (e.g.. multiple product lines and organisations) * Integrated handling of multiple models * Variability-aware validation approaches We explicitly encourage submission of case studies and experience reports from industry where such techniques have been applied in industrial practice and on a larger scale. ----------------------------------------------------------- 3. Important Dates Paper submission: 4th April 2011 Notification of acceptance: 4th May 2011 Camera-ready version: TBA Workshop: 7th June 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- 4. Submissions We are seeking for two types of submissions: * Regular papers (max. 12 pages) presenting original research and/or experience reports and * Short papers (max. 6 pages) describing ongoing research, new results, and future trends. All papers submitted to the workshop must be unpublished original work and must not have been submitted anywhere else for publication. Submissions will be selected based on the relevance to the workshop topics and the suitability to trigger discussions. Submissions should be submitted as PDF in Springer LNCS style via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mdple2011 Accepted papers will be published as CEUR proceedings. ----------------------------------------------------------- 5.
