<div> Call for Contributions</div>
<div> </div>
<div>About the conference:</div>
<div>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 Munich, August 22-26, 2011.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We invite a range of topics related to software product line engineering, both traditional and modern. These topics include but are not limited to:</div>
<div>* Industrial experiences in product line engineering </div>
<div>* Techniques and tools for product line engineering </div>
<div>* Evolution and life-cycle issues of product line assets </div>
<div>* Business issues for product lines </div>
<div>* Organizational and process issues for product lines </div>
<div>* Empirical studies in product line engineering</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We invite the following classes of original, unpublished contributions:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(1) Research papers: (max. 10 pages, 5 for short papers) describe original research contributions (theoretical, conceptual) to the field of software product line engineering. We also call for short research papers, which are intended to report ideas in
their early stages. Submission deadline: Feb.28th, 2011.</div>
<div>In cooperation with Journal on Information and Software Technology, best papers will be invited for a special issue, for further information see <a href="http://www.sse.uni-hildesheim.de/reuse-special-issue-ist/"><font color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.sse.uni-hildesheim.de/reuse-special-issue-ist/</u></font></a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>(2) Industrial papers: (max. 10 pages for full, 5 for short papers) describe experience in introducing, implementing, and evolving product lines and success stories or report on problems with the application of product line engineering methods, techniques,
and tools in industry. </div>
<div>Submission deadline: Feb. 28th, 2011.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(3) Workshops: The purpose of the workshop program is to provide a forum for bringing together people from industry, academia, and research institutions to present and discuss research results, practices and experiences. Workshops should be organized as
full-day events. Submission deadline: </div>
<div>Feb. 24, 2011.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(4) Tutorials: Tutorials will be held during the conference week in full-day or half-day sessions. A tutorial proposal consists of two pages describing the topic, the plan for conducting the tutorial, and the backgrounds of the presenters and the tutorial.
We explicitly invite tutorials that have been held at other events. Submission deadline: Feb. 24, 2011</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(5) Submissions to Hall of Fame: Each SPLC culminates with a session in which members of the audience nominate systems for induction into the Software Product Line Hall of Fame. Those nominations feed discussions about what constitutes excellence and success
in product lines. More information on nominations and election can be found at the conference website or at <a href="http://www.splc.net/fame.html"><font color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.splc.net/fame.html</u></font></a>.</div>
