We are interested in all topics related to the app­lica­tion of model-driven and aspect-oriented tech­ni­ques in product line engineering. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Modeling of software product lines
• Variability modeling
  • Feature / Variability / Decision models
  • Variability in domain-specific languages / with the help of domain-specific languages
  • Mapping variability models to other product line models
• Product derivation -- automated and interactive techniques that support product derivation
  • Configuration
  • Components and assembly -- How can prod­ucts be created by selecting, assembling and con­figuring components?
  • Generative approaches
  • Integration of product configuration and imple­mentation
  • Feature dependencies and interaction
• Aspect-oriented approaches
  • Modeling and realization of cross-cutting fea­tures with aspects
  • Combination of model-driven and aspect-oriented techniques for product derivation
• Run-time variability
  • Modeling of run-time variability
  • Realization of run-time variability
• Advanced approaches and process models
  • Iterative approaches to product derivation
  • Hierarchical product lines
  • Product populations
  • Configuration and derivation over multiple process stages
• Evolution and Change
  • Propagation of changes
  • Merging models and conflict resolution
  • Synchronization of models
  • Evolution of software product lines
• Traceability and integrated handling of multiple models and artifacts
  • Mapping of model elements
  • Management of relations between models
  • Techniques (e.g., configuration, derivation, analy­sis) that use a set of integrated models
• Product validation
  • Validation through testing
  • Validation through static analysis
• Scalability
  • Performance of techniques that handle large SPL models
  • Hierarchical approaches, e.g., handling prod­ucts that consist of several sub products

We particularly encourage papers which address the workshop topics from a special perspective:

• Industrial experience, for instance
  • Variability in particular domains, such as embed­ded systems
  • Handling of SPL models in industry practice
• Applied formal methods, for instance
  • Semantics of product line models and relation­ships between them
  • Automated analyses of product line models
  • Formal reasoning techniques for PLE tasks
