SPLC 2004 Conference a Success!
The Software Engineering Institute's Third Software Product Line Conference, SPLC 2004, was an unprecedented success. The conference drew 200 attendees from across the globe with the majority of representatives coming from North America and Europe.

Paul Clements, SPLC 2004 chair and senior member of the technical staff at the SEI, stated that "we are here because we believe that software product line engineering is a powerful idea and that we have shared vision: product line development is a low-risk, high-return proposition for the entire software engineering community."

This year's conference offered 18 presentations of quality research and experience papers, 14 tutorials, 6 workshops, 3 panels, and 7 product line demonstrations. The event was highlighted by keynote speaker Jack Greenfield, Microsoft architect for enterprise and frameworks, who unveiled Microsoft's plans to support the concept of software factories.

Other highlights of the conference included four new inductions into the Software Product Line Hall of Fame. They were: General Motors' Powertrain product line, Salion, Inc.'s product line of revenue acquisition management systems, Ericsson's AXE family of telecommunication switches, and Phillips' product line of software for high-end television sets.

The Proceedings of SPLC 2004 are available from Springer as part of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS, Vol. 3154).
