=13th Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2009)=
* Location: San Francisco, California, USA
* Date: August 24-28, 2009
* Submission Deadline: February 20, 2009

Product line engineering aims at optimal processes and practices in
organizations to produce and maintain their products. It is massively
based on reuse of artifacts that have been defined strategically and
built for reuse proactively. The success of product line approaches is
thus depending on the overall organizational contexts and goals in
addition to the implementation of adequate product line practices or
technologies. This strong interrelationship between organizational
concerns and engineering practices makes working and researching in
the field of product line engineering as interesting as challenging.

Reports on concrete implementations, as well as methodological
frameworks, are often very simliar to a certain level of abstraction
but quite different in their details. After seeing a dozen product
line conferences pass, it is time for the product line community to
collect and understand similarities and differences of practical
implementations and research results more systematically and
explicitily.

The 13th Software Product Line Conference in 2009 thus seeks for
contributions from diverse perspectives along two dimensions ...

... from practice to research,

* Practice perspectives capture the identified needs or the selected solutions relative to a unique organizational context and its associated constraints
* Research perspectives drive product line technologies forward by improving its processes, the underlying technologies, or provided tool 
support

.., from retrospective to vision.

* Retrospectives summarizes existing work or experiences and derive lessons learned for product line researchers or practitioners
* Visions motivate and outline work to be done in the field of product 
line engineering ranging from postulating new ways for engineering product lines to pointing out open hypotheses that must be validated by the product line community

Within those perspectives we expect the following questions to be of particular interest to the product line community:
* How to manage "Safety" (or any other quality attribute) in a product 


line context systematically ?
* How to engineer product lines in a complex organizatinal network of OEMs and suppliers including COTS or open source components?
* How to center a product line approach around a given reference architecture in a certain domain (e.g. AUTOSAR for the automotive industry)
* How to combine agile approaches with product line engineering?
* How to combine service orientation with product line engineering?

We ask you to present your perspective to the product line community and discuss it at SPLC 20009, the premium forum for product line researchers and practitioners. Please submit your contributions as research or experience papers, tutorials, workshop proposals, demonstrations, or poster presentations. Additionally, we strongly encourage young researchers to participate in the Doctoral Symposium.
Please visit the conference website for all details on deadlines, formats, etc. (see www.splc.net)

We invite you to be part of SPLC 2009. For more information about the venue, details on organization, paper evaluation criteria etc. please visit the conference homepage at www.splc.net.
