1st International Workshop on
Model-Driven Product Line Engineering
1st International Workshop on
Model-Driven Product Line Engineering
Held in conjunction with European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture (ECMDA)
Twente, The Netherlands, June 24th, 2009
Twente, The Netherlands, June 24th, 2009
1 Background
Model-Driven Software Development (MDD) as well as Software Product Lines (SPL) related concepts, techniques, and tools have without any doubts the potential to increase the productivity and quality of software engineering processes significantly. Industry is struggling to adopt these ideas on a large scale. However, from an academic as well as from a practical point of view we still do not know how to integrate these two areas systematically, i.e. how (1) to adapt and apply MDD techniques for the development of software product lines and related engineering tools and (2) how to integrate SPL concepts for the development of families of models, metamodels, model transformations, and modeling languages. The success of Model-Driven Product Line Engineering involves to define suitable model driven test methods for SPL, as well as to reuse promising modularization and composition techniques from language research and to align the current efforts in industry and research toward model-driven tools that facilitate the development of SPLs. Today conferences on MDSD and SPLs focus on rather general issues of their corresponding field, but they do not particularly focus on the special issues when combining the both fields. Our interest is bringing together researchers, lecturers, graduate and Ph.D. students with industrial practitioners, who are interested in both SPLs and MDA to discuss the appropriateness of today's approaches, techniques, infrastructures, and language support and to share ideas from both communities.2 Objectives
The main goal of the workshop is to foster the collaboration between the community of SPLs and the research communities focusing on model-driven tools and advanced language features. We will work on identifying requirements, open questions, and common interests in research related to bringing together SPLs and MDA. Participants can exchange their experience with existing approaches, techniques, tools, infrastructure, and support by their research performed. Further, we will discuss chances, challenges, and limits of SPLs. We expect the following results from the workshop:- A list of all workshop participant's names, affiliations, and research interests will be posted on the workshop's website.
- The papers will be published in the workshop proceedings in the CTIT Proceedings Series and on the workshop's website.
- A summary of the discussions will be compiled into a technical report that will be published on the workshop's website.
- Compile a research agenda that identifies open issues in development, support, and research on model-driven design for SPLs.
- Identify potentials of future collaborations and integration of different tools, integration of different support, or approaches.
3 Workshop Format
Before the workshop, accepted papers will be distributed to all workshop participants. The workshop participants are expected to read the papers beforehand and prepare questions asked to the authors after their presentation. The full-day workshop will be held in four sessions each with a duration of 90 minutes. In the first three sessions, each participant will present will introduce himself/herself, his/her research interests, and will present his/her paper in a short presentation of 10-15 minutes with 5 minutes of questions and immediate feedback on the research topic. In the last session, the moderated discussion will enable participants to identify common research interests, to discuss open questions in SPLs, and to establish contacts.4 Topics
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:- Model-driven techniques for software product line engineering
- Domain-specific modeling languages in software product line engineering
- Modularization and composition of features
- Feature interactions and conflict resolution
- Model-based software product line testing
- Modeling-in-the-large and model variant management
- Configuration management for model transformation families
5 Submission
Papers (position papers and full papers) should be submitted in the PDF format with no more than 8 pages (position papers 4 pages) following the Springer LNCS format. Paper selection is based on the originality, technical contribution, presentation quality, and relevance to the workshop. Each paper will be reviewed by three members of the program committee. You are asked to submit your contribution through Easychair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mdple2009). Post-Workshop proceedings are planned to be published in ENTCS.Important dates:
