CALL FOR PAPERS - VSPLE track at ACM SAC 2018
Variability and Software Product Line Engineering (VSPLE)
track
of the 33st ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing (SAC
2018)
9-13 April 2018, Pau, France
http://www.lirmm.fr/vspl-sac2018/
===================================
Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) provides methods to promote
systematic software reuse for developing a family of software products,
rather than individual ones. It allows companies to produce a set of
related products at lower costs, in a shorter time and with higher
quality.
The goal of the track VSPLE is to bring together researchers, industry
R&D, engineers, practitioners and educators interested by all aspects
related to software product line (SPL) and variability. The VSPLE track
aims to be a forum to present and discuss recent ideas, trends,
experiences, and challenges in this area.
For the past thirty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has
been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer
engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around
the world. SAC 2018 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on
Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and will be held in Pau, France.

==============================
PAPER SUBMISSION : Full papers
==============================
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers addressing any
of the listed topics of interest (or related topics).
Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind
review process by at least three referees.
Submissions from VSPLE PC members and from PC members and track chairs
of other SAC tracks are welcome.
Accepted papers will be included in the ACM SAC 2018 proceedings and
published in the ACM digital library, being indexed by Thomson ISI Web
of Knowledge and Scopus.
Paper size is limited to 8 pages. A maximum of 2 additional pages may be
included for an additional fee. The reviews will be blind: authors’
names and affiliations must not appear in the paper and self-citations
should be in the third person. Submitted papers must be formatted using
the ACM SIG format (see the information in the bottom of this page).
Please submit your contribution via SAC 2018 submission site :
https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2018/submission.html
Choose : Variability and Software Product Line Engineering (VSPLE) track
Submission guidelines can be found on the SAC 2018 website.
Paper registration is required allowing the inclusion of the paper in
the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC must
present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper to be included in
the ACM digital library.
====================================
STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION PROGRAM
====================================
As before, SAC 2018 organizes a Student Research Competition (SRC)
Program to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet and
exchange ideas with researchers and practitioners in their areas of
interest. For guidelines and information about the SRC program:
http://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2018/src.html.
Submission of research abstracts to the SRC program should be in
electronic form via SAC 2018 SRC papers submission site. SRC Abstracts
are limited to 2 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the
registration fee. No extra pages allowed.
Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed. All
research abstract submissions will be reviewed by researchers and
practitioners with expertise in the track focus area to which they are
submitted. Authors of selected abstracts will have the opportunity to
give poster presentations of their work and compete for three
top-winning places.
The Student Research Competition committee will evaluate and select
First-, Second-, and Third- place winners. The winners will receive cash
awards and SIGAPP recognition certificates during the conference
banquet.
Authors of selected abstracts are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP
Student Travel Award program for support.
