Call for Papers

Managing variability is a major concern in the development, maintenance and evolution of software-intensive systems. To be managed effectively and efficiently, variability must be explicitly modelled. Numerous variability modelling techniques have been proposed both by academia and industry.

The aim of the VaMoS workshop series is to bring together researchers from various areas of variability modelling to discuss advantages, drawbacks and complementarities of the various approaches and to present new results for variability modelling and management.

The workshop language is english.

Attendance is restricted to authors of accepted papers, invited speakers, organisers and PC members.

Workshop Format

VaMoS 2010, like the previous VaMoS workshops, will be a highly interactive event. Each session will be organized such that discussions among presenters of papers, discussants and other participants are stimulated. Typically, after a paper is presented, it is immediately discussed by two pre-assigned discussants, after which a free discussion involving all participants follows. Each session is closed by a general discussion of all papers presented in the session.

Topics (non-exclusive)

Modelling variability in functional, quality and economics requirements
Modelling variability in the architecture
Separation of Concerns
Feature oriented software development
Visualization of variability
Handling complexity
Formal reasoning and automated analysis on variability
Configuration in variability management
Application (e.g., embedded systems, information systems, service-based systems)
Tool support

Submission

We look forward to receiving the following types of submissions:

Problem statements describing open issues of theoretical or practical nature.
Experience reports which report on positive or negative experiences.
Surveys and comparative studies that investigate pros, cons and complementarities of existing variability modelling approaches.
Research in progress including research results at a premature stage.
Vision papers stating where the research in the field should be heading towards.
Tool demonstrations describing the variability-related features of CASE tools.

The length of the submitted papers should be between 4 and 8 pages in IEEE CS proceedings format. Templates and instructions can be found at the IEEE CS web site.

Publication

The proceedings of the workshop will be published as an ICB Research Report. The ICB is the Institute for Computer Science and Business Information Systems of the University of Duisburg-Essen.

Last editions of VaMoS are indexed in the DBLP repository.
