Variability is a quality factor expressing the ease with which existing software may be adapted and reused. This workshop will explore promising techniques for managing variability through a case study approach. The workshop will present attendees with a specific product line problem to solve. The goal of the workshop is to establish approaches for managing variability as a means of exploiting commonality across a product line. The problem statement will go out in advance of the workshop. We will take position papers in return and organize into subgroups:

Model Driven Architecture (MDA)[www.omg.org/mda/presentations.htm], the new OMG initiative, defines an approach to IT system specification. The approach separates the specification of system functionality from the specification of the implementation of that functionality on a specific technology platform. MDA addresses the complete life cycle of specifying, designing, deploying, integrating and managing IT applications placing models at the center of the development. The goal of this workshop is to analyze Model Driven Architecture as a technological proposition underlying product line engineering. The analysis will bring answers to the following questions:

Few product line efforts start from "green fields" because organizations have a substantial legacy base of existing software assets. But a lot of work must be done before an organization can reuse these legacy assets in a product line. The theme of this workshop is to examine what needs to be done.
The workshop's goal is to explore the current state of the practice in methods, tools and technology that can assist in carrying out the required work. The workshop will examine the following aspects of the problem of reusing legacy components:

Many organizations have presented success stories and lessons learned regarding their ground system product lines; however, each organization presents results with respect to its own product lines. There has been little discussion, and no conclusions, regarding the possibility of interoperable product lines or product line components. The workshop will explore the current state of ground system product lines and begin to converge on a consensus regarding a future vision for ground system product line architectures and standards. The workshop will focus on the unique challenges and potential benefits of increasing interoperability among ground system product lines.
The workshop will focus on the issues above and include discussions of
The workshop at SPLC2 will build upon and contribute to ground system product line work at the Ground System Architectures Workshops (GSAW). For more information on the SPLC2 workshop, please see http://www.aero.org/conferences/splc/ or contact the organizers.

This workshop will bring together participants from the DoD, other government organizations, and commercial practitioners who support these agencies. The SEI has held four previous DoD Product Line Practice workshops as separate events. This year we have decided to hold the DoD Workshop in conjunction with SPLC2 to both broaden and deepen the opportunity for software product line exposure for the DoD community. As in the past four DoD workshops, participants will share their product line development and acquisition practices in support of government product line efforts. Working groups will be established to make progress in specific areas. These focus areas will be finalized based on the participants' experiences and interests. A secondary agenda item is to obtain input as well as feedback and suggestions for the SEI's Software Product Line Acquisition - A Companion to the Framework for Software Product Line Practice.

This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners who wish to debate and extend their ideas in the area of managing the extension and re-design of the architectures of software product families that they develop. This workshop builds on the experience of the organizers in conducting similar events in this area and on the results reached during previous events:
ECOOP 2001 Workshop on Object-Oriented Architectural Evolution
WICSA 2001 Workshop on Architectural Viewpoints
To optimize the exposition of participants' views and to maximize interaction, the workshop adopts a question-and-answer style, whereby a number of questions concerning the architectural evolution of product families are proposed. We invite participants to submit well-reasoned answers to at least two of the questions. For details on the questions and the desired format of the answers please contact the workshop organizers.

Research in software product line practice and the use of those ideas in industry have advanced to a point where product line topics are being introduced into a number of university curricula. The spreading use of software product line practices in industry is also resulting in an increase in industrial training courses. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum in which both academic and industrial educators can exchange experiences and ideas. The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
Participants from industry are strongly encouraged to apply.

Workshops are by invitation only. Each workshop may have its own invitation criteria. The most likely criteria for attendance will be the submission and acceptance of a workshop paper. Workshop papers tend to be much less formal and comprehensive than main-conference papers.
If you are interested in attending a specific workshop, please follow the invitation criteria provided with the workshop and contact the workshop organizer(s).
