10th International Software
Product Line Conference
(SPLC 2006)
21-24 August 2006
Baltimore,
Maryland, USA
Invitation to Corporate Sponsorship
The Tenth International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC) 2006 will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA on August 21 – 24, 2006. Software product lines represent an important and growing software development paradigm, and SPLC is a leading forum for researchers and practitioners working in the field. SPLC 2006, the tenth official gathering of the software product line community, is a result of the merging of two former conferences: the Software Product Line Conference (SPLC), which began in 2000 in the USA, and the Product Family Engineering (PFE) Conference, which began in 1996 in Europe. SPLC 2006 will provide a venue for practitioners, researchers, and educators to reflect on the achievements made during the past decade, assess the current state of the field, and identify key challenges still facing researchers and practitioners.
The conference will feature research and experience papers, topical panels, tutorials, workshops, demonstrations, birds-of-a-feather discussions, and other opportunities for members of the product line community to interact. This year’s program will span a wider range of product line interests than ever before. The keynote speakers will be Carliss Baldwin of the Harvard Business School and Gregor Kiczales, originator of aspect-oriented programming. Special sessions focusing on the research agendas of leading research organizations, testing and quality assurance in product lines and several other topics will be conducted in addition to the usual conference sessions. SPLC 2006 will also support a Doctoral Symposium in which the next generation of researchers will receive guidance and support.
We invite you to become a corporate sponsor of SPLC. There are three levels of sponsorship, described below. Your sponsorship, in addition to helping with the general expenses of the conference, will assist aspiring research students to attend the conference.
Your support will help SPLC be an effective venue for sharing and learning. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thanks for your consideration,
John D.
