*******************************************************************

The 19th International Software Product Line Conference:
New Directions in Systems and Software Product Line Engineering


Nashville, TN, USA
July 20-24, 2015
http://www.splc2015.net/

ALL DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: APRIL 17

The Software Product Line Conference (SPLC) is a premier forum
where researchers, practitioners, and educators can present and
discuss the most recent ideas, trends, experiences, and challenges
in the area of software and system product lines engineering. In 2015,
SPLC is widening its scope to product lines that have not been
traditionally covered in SPLC, such as hardware product lines.

/**************************************************************
* CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS *
**************************************************************/

SPLC is now accepting submissions for a number of tracks. We
invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished
work. SPLC includes a new Systems Engineering Track that is
intended to capture industry and research papers on product line
aspects that are not focused on the software aspects, such as
a paper on automotive construction from a mechanical engineering
perspective (e.g., chassis / ECU configuration). The industry,
research, vision, and systems engineering tracks will accept
full (10pgs) and short papers (5pgs).

General technical tracks:

* Research Papers -- High quality research work that uses established
scientific methodologies, written using high standards of academic
technical publications.
DEADLINE: April 3, 2015 -) Extended to April 17, 2015
See http://www.splc2015.net/cfps.html#researchpapers

* Industry Papers -- Challenges, innovations and solutions to concrete
industrial applications of software and product line engineering
tools and methodologies. These papers should have a significant software
component to the research (see the Systems Engineering track otherwise).
DEADLINE: April 3, 2015 -) Extended to April 17, 2015
See http://www.splc2015.net/cfps.html#industrypapers

* Vision Papers -- Papers that reach out to new communities around
product lines, explore unusual interdisciplinary research, synergies
with other fields, or present disruptive innovations. These papers
should not be traditional SPLC research papers.
DEADLINE: April 3, 2015 -) Extended to April 17, 2015
See http://www.splc2015.net/cfps.html#visionpapers

* Systems Engineering Papers -- This track is for papers, either
research-oriented or industry-oriented, that are explicitly aimed
at product lines residing primarily in the systems engineering realm.
Specifically, this track is for papers addressing product line
engineering where the focus is not software but rather other system
engineering aspects (testing, operations, portfolio management,
manufacturing, etc.) and/or concerns across the whole organization.
Industry or research papers focusing on software product lines should
be submitted to the traditional industry and research tracks.
DEADLINE: April 3, 2015 -) Extended to April 17, 2015

Specialized tracks:

* Demonstrations -- Applications and systems that show specific
technologies in action, live.
DEADLINE: April 3, 2015 -) Extended to April 17, 2015
See http://www.splc2015.net/cfps.html#demonstrations

* Doctoral Symposium -- Doctoral proposals, both early- and mid-phase,
to be reviewed and commented on by a panel of experts.
DEADLINE: April 3, 2015 -) Extended to April 17, 2015
See http://www.splc2015.net/cfps.html#doctoralsymposium

* Tutorials -- Practical trainings for conference participants to
expand their product line knowledge and skills.
DEADLINE: April 3, 2015 -) Extended to April 17, 2015

Workshops:

SPLC is now accepting proposals for innovative, well-focused
workshops on a broad spectrum of topics related to software
product lines, systems engineering, the application of product
lines to new domains, product line experiences, variability
and configuration management, and other related topics.
DEADLINE: March 1, 2015
