SPLC 2013 - International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2013)

SPLC, the premier forum where practitioners, researchers and educators can present and discuss the most recent ideas, innovations, trends, experiences, and concerns in the area of software product lines and software product family engineering invites you to come to Tokyo Japan.
We invite a range of topics related to software product line engineering, both traditional and those that have not yet been addressed.
Special theme of SPLC 2013 is:
SPLC adoption: forms, success factors and roadblocks
These topics include but are not limited to:
Industrial experiences in product line engineering
Requirements management for product lines
Techniques and tools for product line engineering
Evolution and life-cycle issues of product line assets
Business issues for product lines
Organizational and process issues for product lines
Product Line Engineering for Globalization
Empirical studies in product line engineering

We invite the following categories of contributions:
1. Research papers: describe original and unpublished results of empirical, conceptual, ex perimental, and theoretical research in the field of software product line engineering. We also call for short research papers, which are intended to report ideas in their early stages.
2. Vision papers: describe emerging technical/business directions relevant to software product lines and software reuse. They also describe research challenges along with possible approaches for them.
Page limit is 10 pages for full papers and 5 pages for short papers for all the categories of contributions.
