Information Systems (VarIS 2013)

http://www.pros.upv.es/varis2013

in conjunction with the

25th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems

Engineering (CAiSE’13)

http://www.pros.upv.es/caise2013

Valencia, Spain, 17-21 June 2013

The VarIS workshop will focus on variability issues in IS not

from an isolated point of view, but as an integrated part of a

development project. The overall goal of the workshop is to look

at variability issues in a wider perspective, trying to understand

not just the techniques and languages that allow capturing and

representing IS variability, but also to understand IS variability

including, for example, its drivers and economic implications.

VarIS will discuss the current state of ongoing research, industry

needs, future trends, and practical experiences.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Managing variability in IS lifecycle:

- Requirements engineering for variability in IS

- Variability modelling (e.g., software and BP models, data models,

IS handbooks)

- Configuring IS artefacts to a particular application context

- Run-time adaptation of IS artefacts

- Evolution of IS artefacts

- Analysing and mining IS artefacts showing variability

- Merging IS artefacts to a configurable artefact

Understanding IS variability:

- Drivers of variability in IS (variability knowledge management)

- Economic impact of variability in IS

- Traceability of variability across different IS artefacts (e.g.,

requirements and software specifications, process models, test cases,

system documentation)

- Visualizing IS artefacts showing variability

- Impact of Variability on IS architectures

Variability in Industrial Practice:

- Case studies and experiments

- Experiences with actual implementations

- Tool and method support to enable variability in IS

- Understandability, maintainability, scalability, and usability of

IS modelling artefacts dealing with variability

PUBLISHING

Accepted papers of VarIS workshop will be published in the joint

Springer LNBIP proceedings.
