Addressing issues related to modeling, managing and reasoning about software variability at architectural level gained a special interest. In this context, software architects need to address variability as an architectural key concept and first-class quality attribute. They call for methods, formalisms, techniques and tools to model, represent and evaluate variability. All these needs require a better understanding of variability management and more theoretical foundations of architectural variability.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> The purpose of this workshop is to promote the theme of variability management from architectural perspectives. It aims at contributing to the development of a basic understanding of the notion of variability in the software architecture. In particular, it provides a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in software variability management, in order to identify possible points of synergy, common problems and solutions, as well as visions for the future of the area.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> =====<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Methods and techniques to support variability in software architecture<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Models, languages, notations and formalisms for variability in software architecture<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Formal approaches for architectural variability specification, modeling and analysis<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Managing variability in dynamic software architecture<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Quality attributes and variability in software architectures<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Variability and architectural patterns, styles, aspect and viewpoints<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Variability in service-oriented architectures, component-base architectures …<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Traceability between architectural representation of variability and other representation levels (business level, implementation level …)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Variability and model driven architecture and code generation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Architectural variability to support runtime adaptation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Software architecture variability discovery and recovery<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * State-of-the-art and state-of-practice of architectural variability handling<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Tools support for software architecture variability<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Industrial experiments, empirical studies and case studies and practice reports related to variability management at the architectural level<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> ===============================================<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> We accept four types of submissions: short position and tool papers (up to 5 pages) and long research and industrial papers (up to 10 pages).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> * Position papers.
