Call for Papers - MDPLE 2010

2nd International Workshop on

Model-Driven Product Line Engineering

collocated with ECMFA 2010 - the 6th European Conference on

Modelling Foundations and Applications, Paris, France, June 15-18

http://lero.ie/mdple2010/

***********************************************************

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 apply and 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.

***********************************************************

WORKSHOP TOPICS

We are interested in the application of concepts from MDE to the area
of product line engineering, including (but not limited to):

* Modelling of software product lines

* Variability modelling

* Automated and interactive product derivation

* Aspect-oriented approaches

* Multiple binding time and run-time variability

* Automatic inference of variability constraints

* Advanced approaches and process models

* Evolution and change

* Traceability and integrated handling of

multiple models and artefacts

* Product validation

* Scalability and complexity

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.

SUBMISSIONS

We are seeking for research papers and experience reports (max. 12
pages) in LNCS format. Submissions will be selected based on the
relevance to the workshop topics and the suitability to trigger
discussions. Papers should be submitted via
