We invite papers on innovative techniques in all areas related to software product line (SPL) engineering and variability management. We particularly welcome, but the call is not limited to, papers accepted at the 21st International Systems and Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2017).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Requirements engineering and domain analysis for SPLs
- Business process management, economics and organizational issues of SPL engineering
- Architecture, design, and implementation of SPLs
- Variability management and modeling
- Advances in testing of configurable systems and SPLs
- Analysis techniques such as model-checking, formal methods of SPLs
- Non-functional properties and performance for SPL engineering
- Multi-product lines, ecosystems product lines of product lines, systems of systems
- Mining and reverse engineering of variability
- Dynamic, adaptive, and reconfigurable systems
- End-user concerns and usability of SPLs
- Open source SPLs, software ecosystems, and supply chains
- Domain-specific (modeling) languages and SPLs
Important dates:
- Full paper submission deadline: January 15th, 2018
- Initial notification: March 29th, 2018
- Final notifications: September 10th, 2018
Submission information:
All submitted papers should adhere to the general principles of the Journal of Systems and Software articles. Submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors in https://ees.elsevier.com/jss. Authors should select SI: SPLC from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process.
Submitted papers must be original, must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. In case a paper has been already presented at a conference, it should be extended by at least 30% new technical contributions, before submitted for this special issue.
About the Journal of Systems and Software (JSS):
JSS publishes papers covering all aspects of software engineering and related hardware-software-systems issues. All articles should include a validation of the idea presented, e.g. through case studies, experiments, or systematic comparisons with other approaches already in practice. JSS is a top-ranked journal with a high impact factor.
