We particularly encourage research papers based on industrial experience and empirical studies. We are interested in all topics related to model-driven techniques and/or scalability in product line engine­ering. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Modelling of software product lines
• Variability modelling, Configuration vs. construction of products (e.g. with DSLs)
• Scalability of product line models
• Product derivation/configuration
• Automated and interactive techniques
• Scalability of derivation/configuration
• Assembly/generation of SPL artefacts
• Handling large and complex SPLs
• Managing complexity, scalability and inconsistencies
• Visualisation and interactive techniques for large and complex PL models
• To support modelling of SPLs
• To support product derivation
• Feature-oriented approaches for modelling and implementation
• Feature dependencies and feature interaction
• Evolution and Change
• Model/Meta-model (co-)evolution
• Model maintenance (merging, conflict resolution)
• Variability-aware and scalable techniques for validation and verification
• Integration of heterogeneous modelling languages and techniques
• Runtime-variability, dynamic SPLs, variability in adaptive systems
• Collaborative and distributed scenarios, software ecosystems

We particularly encourage papers which

• report on industrial experience and case studies and/or
• identify and structure open challenges and research questions
