Call for Papers - MDPLE 2010
2nd International Workshop on Model-Driven Product Line Engineering
held in conjunction with ECMFA 2010 15-18 June 2010, Paris, France
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 apply and 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 the area of product line engineering, including (but not limited to):
Modelling of software product lines
Variability modelling
Automated and interactive product derivation
Aspect-oriented approaches
Multiple binding time and run-time variability
Automatic inference of variability constraints
Advanced approaches and process models
Evolution and change
Traceability and integrated handling of multiple models and artefacts
Product validation
Scalability and complexity
We explicitly encourage submission of
from industry where such techniques have been applied in industrial practice and on a larger scale.
