Workshop held in conjunction with ECMFA 2012

Lyngby, Denmark, 2nd July 2012

== Workshop Summary and Goals ==

The fundamental premise of product line engineering (PLE) is that the

investment in a family of products pays off later by allowing

systematic, efficient derivation of products. This should be automated

as much as possible, which can be achieved via model-driven engineering

(MDE) techniques.

Research in PLE and MDE has many intersections. PLE leverages MDE to

specify variability, domain concepts, configurations and more. (Semi-)

automated product derivation requires mappings between the models on

different abstraction layers and model transformations to derive an

implementation from a configuration.

In addition, latest research shows the increasing need for concepts to

deal with very large and evolving systems. Product lines can no longer

rely on an immutable scope but need to be considered as evolving systems

which can span over organizational boundaries. Thus, there is a need to

investigate latest concepts from MDE like model-driven evolution and

co-evolution, consistency management, multi-paradigm modelling, etc.

In this workshop we aim to bring together researchers and practitioners

to foster the exchange of concepts and ideas between them to address

these challenges.

== Workshop Topics ==

We are interested in the application of concepts from MDE to Product

Line Engineering, including (but not limited to):

Modelling of software product lines

Variability modelling

Evolution of product lines

Complexity handling and scalability

Automated and interactive tool-support

Feature-oriented / Aspect-oriented approaches

Multiple binding time and run-time variability

Advanced approaches and process models (e.g.. multiple product lines and organisations)

Integrated handling of multiple models

Variability-aware validation approaches

We explicitly encourage submission of case studies and experience

reports from industry where such techniques have been applied in

industrial practice and on a larger scale.

== Important Dates ==

Paper submission: 16th April 2012

Notification of acceptance: 14th May 2012

Camera-ready version: 30th May 2012

Workshop: 2nd July 2012

== Submissions ==

We are seeking for two types of submissions:

Regular papers (max. 12 pages) presenting original research and/or experience reports and

Short papers (max. 6 pages) describing ongoing research, new results, and future trends.

All papers submitted to the workshop must be unpublished original work

and must not have been submitted anywhere else for publication.

Submissions will be selected based on the relevance to the workshop

topics and the suitability to trigger discussions. Submissions should be

submitted as PDF in Springer LNCS style via

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecmfa-workshops2012

under the track "Model-driven Product Line Engineering". Accepted papers

will be published in a long-term archive chosen by the main conference,

either ACM DL or CEUR proceedings (see

http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/conferences/ECMFA-2012/workshops/).
