The International Systems and Software Product Line Conference (SPLC) is a premier forum where researchers, practitioners, and educators can present and discuss the most recent ideas, trends, experiences, and challenges in the area of software and system product lines engineering.

The 20th SPLC will be held in Beijing, China, September 19-23, 2016.

For the research track, we invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished results in all areas related to software product line engineering.

Paper Submission: March 14, 2016 (extended!)

Notification of Acceptance: April 25, 2016

Camera-ready Paper Due: May 23, 2016

Conference: Sept. 19-23, 2016

TOPICS:

Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Domain analysis and requirements engineering
  • Product line design, architecture, and implementation
  • Variability management and product derivation
  • Business, economics, organizational, and process issues
  • Product line evolution and life-cycle
  • Validation and verification
  • Non-functional considerations
  • Multi product lines, product lines of product lines
  • Open source systems
  • Software ecosystems and supply chains
  • Incremental development of product lines
  • Non-traditional applications of product line concepts

SUBMISSIONS/PUBLISHING:

  • Full papers describing original results of conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and experimental research. The papers in this category must rely on theoretical and/or empirical evaluation.
  • Short/Vision papers describing emerging technical and business directions, future trends, emerging ideas and outstanding challenges along with possible approaches for resolving them.

The page limit is 10 pages for full papers and 5 pages for short/vision papers. Submissions should follow the ACM SIGS proceedings format and will be reviewed by at least three members of the SPLC 2015 Research Track program committee.

Previous SPLC proceedings have been published with ACM and we plan to continue this tradition.
