Mon May 17 14:47:31 EDT 2021

=======================================
25th ACM International Systems and Software Product Line Conference 
(SPLC 2021)
REMINDER: Challenge solution, Industrial, Workshop, JFT, Demo and tools 
and Doctoral symposium tracks - Submission due June 11th 2021
Web site: http://splc2021.net/ Twitter: @splcconf
=======================================

The Systems and Software Product Line Conference (SPLC) is a premier 
forum where researchers, practitioners, and educators can present and 
discuss the most recent ideas, trends, experiences, and challenges in 
the area of software and system product lines engineering. Conference 
events include opportunities to hear industry leaders' real-world 
experiences and researchers' latest ideas and to learn from both.
The SPLC 2021 will be held online from September 6th to 11th. We are 
closely monitoring the COVID19 situation and we are committed to 
allowing for hybrid participation (both online and physical) if the 
situation improves.

=====
Tracks
=====
* Research Papers
High-quality research work that uses established scientific 
methodologies, written using high standards of academic technical 
publications.
* Industrial Systems and Software Product Lines Papers
We invite submission of papers presenting challenges, innovations, and 
solutions to concrete industrial applications of software and product 
line engineering methodologies and tools. Submitted papers should 
showcase a significant software component to the research.
* Challenges and Solutions Papers
We highly encourage community members to provide concrete sets of case 
studies and problems that showcase SPL-related challenges. First, there 
will be a call for cases where researchers or practitioners are 
encouraged to contribute a concrete case study. Then, after the accepted 
case studies are published, there will be a call for solutions. Both 
accepted case descriptions and solutions will be included in the 
conference proceedings.
* Journal First Papers
Authors of journal-first papers are invited to submit their publications 
to present their work at SPLC. This is an opportunity to speak directly 
to the community and offer SPLC attendees a richer set of presentations.
* Workshop Proposals
We invite the community to submit proposals for one or two- day 
workshops in the field. In particular, workshops on challenging, 
emerging areas related to conference topics.
* Demonstrations and Tools
This track highlights live demonstrations of product-line tools and of 
practices tackling current industrial challenges.
* Doctoral Symposium Papers
The SPLC Doctoral Symposium aims to provide a supportive environment 
that enables doctoral students to get constructive feedback on their 
research. Students will have the opportunity to discuss their work with 
experienced members of the community.
* Tutorial Proposals
Tutorials provide a valuable opportunity for participants to expand 
their knowledge and skills in product line engineering. Tutorials may 
focus on introductory product lines topics, or on advanced tools, 
approaches, methods, and best practices.

==========================================
SPLC will celebrate its silver jubilee at SPLC 2021!
==========================================
At SPLC 2021, we will celebrate SPLC's silver jubilee in a dedicated 
session.
Distinguished speakers will shed their light on the history of SPLC and 
software product lines - in research and in industry.
We also plan to show a collection of photos/videos/stories by SPLC 
participants, for which we seek your help. Please send any material you 
believe suitable to SPLC's publicity chair at 
splc.jubilee.25th at gmail.com. The fact that SPLC 2021 is the 25th edition 
of SPLC less than 25 years after the first SPLC surely is one such a 
remarkable story: https://splc.net/history/
