In The Spotlight ...

The 12th International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2008) will be held 8-12 September 2008, Limerick, Ireland.

SPLC is the most prestigious and leading forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators in the field. SPLC 2008 will feature invited talks, technical paper presentations, and panel discussions on the most relevant topics in product line engineering. In addition, SPLC 2008 will host a number of workshops and tutorials, and will offer selected demonstrations and poster presentations. SPLC 2008 will also once again host the SPLC Doctoral Symposium and the Product Line Hall of Fame nomination ceremony.

Conferences and Calls for Participation

Early Aspects at ICSE: Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering and Architecture Design (EA 2008), part of the 30th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) (ICSE 2008), 10 - 18 May 2008, Leipzig, Germany: The general aim of this workshop is to facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas in product line practice, requirements engineering, domain engineering, software architecture design, and aspect-oriented software development in order to identify the problems and potential solutions and continue the maturation of Early Aspects as a discipline. The specific aim of this workshop is to stimulate integration of the work on early development activities for product lines with the work for Early Aspects.
10th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2008), 25-29 May 2008, Beijing, China: ICSR is the major international conference in the field of software reuse. The main goal of ICSR is to promote interaction between researchers and practitioners. We invite Research Papers, Workshop Proposals, Tutorial Proposals, Symposium Descriptions and Tool Demonstrations. The theme of this year is “Architecture Based High Confidence Software Reuse”. Topics of interest include architecture-based software reuse, and software product lines, software product families, and domain engineering.
2nd Workshop on Middleware-Application Interaction (MAI'2008), 3 June 2008, Oslo, Norway, co-located With DisCoTec federated conferences 2008: MAI'2008 aims at providing researchers with a forum for discussing the state of the art of approaches to middleware-application interaction and for identifying challenging open problems. The goal of the workshop is to bring together active researchers in the different fields that relate to the workshop topic.
Code Generation 2008 (CG2008), 25-27 June 2008, Cambridge, UK: With an emphasis on providing practical advice, Code Generation 2008 is the ideal opportunity for architects, developers and others to understand how to benefit from emerging tools and technologies in the broad area of Code Generation. We are currently seeking high-quality session proposals covering topics in model-driven software development (including Software Factories, Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs), Generative Programming, Software Product Lines and related areas. Submission Deadline: Friday January 18th 2008.
12th International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2008), 8-12 September 2008, Limerick, Ireland: SPLC is the premier forum for practitioners, researchers, and educators to present and discuss experiences, ideas, innovations, as well as concerns in the area of software product lines. SPLC 2008 will be the 12th official gathering of the product line community.
Workshop on Early Aspects: Aspect-Oriented Requirements and Architecture for Product Lines (EA@SPLC 2008), part of the 12th International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2008), 8-12 September 2008, Limerick, Ireland: the goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the product line and the early aspects communities to discuss the application of aspect-oriented requirements engineering and architecture design in identifying and managing variability across a product line.
Workshop on Service-Oriented Architectures and Software Product Lines - Putting Both Together (SOAPL 2008), part of the 12th International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2008), 8-12 September 2008, Limerick, Ireland: this workshop will explore experiences in integrating SOA and SPL (i.e., how web services have been used to support product lines using a service-oriented architecture and how product line practices have been used to support web services and service-oriented architectures).
5th Software Product Lines Testing Workshop (SPLiT 2008), part of the 12th International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2008), 8-12 September 2008, Limerick, Ireland: this workshop brings together both testing researchers and practitioners into a highly interactive event to discuss novel approaches and open issues in software product line testing.
Workshop on Open Source Software and Product Lines (OSSPL 2008), part of the 12th International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2008), 8-12 September 2008, Limerick, Ireland: this workshop will explore what the the open source and product line development communities can learn from each other and to develop a better understanding of how the two communities can benefit from each other.
16th IEEE International Reengineering Conference, 8-12 September 2008, Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain: The IEEE International Requirements Engineering conference provides the premier international forum for researchers, educators and industrial practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field of requirements engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: interaction between requirements and design; evolution of requirements over time, product families, and variability; relating requirements to business goals, products, architecture, and testing; domain-specific problems, experiences and solutions.
23rd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2008), 15-19 September 2008, L'Aquila, Italy: The International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE) brings together researchers and practitioners to share ideas on the foundations, techniques, tools, and applications of automated software engineering. Related topics include domain modelling and meta-modelling, product line architectures, reengineering, and software architecture and design.
