VARY 2012 - International Workshop on VARiability for you ? variability modeling made useful for everyone

VARiability for You is intended to be a workshop to discuss how variability modeling can be made most useful for the modeling community. The workshop will influence the ongoing efforts to establish a Common Variability Language. We want the workshop to improve the awareness of product line modeling and to show example of said modeling.
Product Lines are everywhere. It is very seldom that a product is one of its kind and that the product has been developed all by itself with no thoughts about alternative customers or alternative variants. In fact adaptability and variance are becoming one of the main issues of development. It is becoming increasingly important that new products build on the experience of older products and that the solutions are useful for a number of different clients and situations. Still the current methods and languages are not fully up to the task. This workshop is intended to improve the awareness of constructs, methods and techniques that will make product line modeling more effective. One of the ways to make product line modeling more effective is to establish a common language for variability modeling, enabling generic tool support and associated methods.
