==============================================================================
25th ACM International Systems and Software Product Line Conference 
(SPLC 2021)

Call for Challenge Cases

September 6-11, 2021
Leicester, United Kingdom (hybrid participation will be allowed)

Web site: https://splc2021.net/call-for-papers/call-for-challenge-cases
Twitter:  @splcconf
==============================================================================

The idea of the challenge track is to provide participants with a set of 
case studies that tackle relevant SPL problems and challenge the state 
of the art. The challenge track happens in two phases. In the first 
phase, there will be a call for cases. Submitted cases will be reviewed 
by the challenge co-chairs to ensure that all required information is 
clearly described. Accepted cases will be part of the official 
conference proceedings. Authors of the accepted cases must attend the 
challenge track and participate in the discussion. In the second phase, 
there will be a call for solutions to the accepted cases, as well as for 
cases from previous years. Submitted case solutions will be 
peer-reviewed by the challenge program committee. Accepted solutions 
will also be part of the official conference proceedings. Authors of 
accepted solutions must present their papers during the conference. Note 
that this year online participation will be permitted.
You can check the challenges from previous years on the official website 
of the challenge track: https://variability-challenges.github.io/
