Call for Papers: MultiPLE 2013
1st International Workshop on Multi Product Line Engineering https://sites.google.com/site/wMultiPLE2013/ co-located with SPLC 2013, 26-30 August 2013, Tokyo, Japan Motivation A multi product line is a product line that integrates assets which themselves have been developed as product lines, or as parts of product lines, by independent teams or organizations. Multi product lines differ from single product lines in the sense that these assets are managed independently of each other, and have their own requirements and stakeholders. The cross-organizational distribution of reusable assets introduces several challenges, such as inconsistent configuration of components and development artifacts, costly and time-consuming integration processes, diverging evolution speed and direction, and inadequate testing. The goal of this workshop is to identify and better understand the challenges that are involved with managing the development and evolution of multi product lines and the distribution of assets used for their production across organizations. To this end, we aim at bringing together researchers, practitioners, and experts from various fields of software engineering to discuss practical challenges, investigate potential solutions, and establish a common research agenda on Multi Product Line Engineering. Topics We particularly encourage position papers and experience reports, which identify and structure open challenges and research questions. We are interested in all topics related to multi product line engineering, including but not limited to: * scoping for multi product lines · domain requirements engineering for MPLs * (cross-organizational) modeling of multi product lines · commonality and variability analysis * MPL integration and interoperability management · product derivation & configuration management · asset management · transition strategies * (cross-organizational) evolution of MPLs · model maintenance · change impact analysis · metrics and measurement * MPL certification, verification and validation * industrial experiences & empirical studies on MPLs * MPLs and software ecosystems · MPLs in the open source world * non-technical issues surrounding MPLs · economic and legal issues · organizational, managerial, and process issues · MPL training for organizations Submission guidelines We are looking for position papers and experience reports (2-4 pages) in ACM SIGS proceedings format. Submissions will be selected based on the relevance to the workshop topics and the suitability to trigger discussions. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the SPLC workshop proceedings. Papers should be submitted via Easychair at: www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=multiple2013 Important Dates Submission deadline: May 27, 2013 Author notifications: June 24, 2013 Camera-ready copies: July 8th, 2013 Workshop date: August 27th, 2013 Workshop format The MultiPLE workshop is a one-day event with strong focus on discussion and interaction. The workshop starts with an interactive introduction session, which is followed by three focused sessions containing short presentations ("lightning talks"). Each talk will be followed by time for clarification questions. The second half of each session is reserved for an open discussion on the focus area, not just about the papers that were presented. After lunch, we will have three working sessions that are built around interactive discussion techniques such as collaborative affinity diagramming and fishbowl panel discussions. These sessions are respectively aimed at building a common understanding of the challenges, discussing directions for potential solutions and establishing a common research agenda.
