VAQUITA 2015 - 1st Workshop on Variability for Qualities in Software Architecture

Many software systems are designed to support variability, either at design time or at runtime. Hence, variability is a key factor of most systems. Variability itself covers two dimensions: functional variability and variability in software qualities. While there are many works covering variability in functionality, there is a research gap regarding variability in software qualities. Obviously, this is an imbalance between the importance of variability in the context of quality attributes, and the intensity of research in this area. To improve this situation, the Workshop on Variability for Qualities in Software Architecture (VAQUITA) aims at investigating and stimulating the discourse about the matter of variability, qualities, and software architectures. VAQUITA offers researchers and practitioners a platform for exchanging ideas and experiences, analyzing research challenges, discussing open problems, and proposing promising solutions.
