SPLYR – The First Software Product Lines Young Researchers Workshop

Abstract

The Software Product Lines Young Researchers (SPLYR) workshop addresses research activities in the field of software product lines (SPLs). Topics of interest include all aspects of developing, managing, evaluating, reusing, and maintaining SPLs. The peculiarity of this workshop is that it is specifically addressed to young researchers having original ideas and initiatives in the SPL field. We address mainly PhD work in progress but also encourage the submission of other work in progress such as master’s or diploma theses. Another characteristic of this workshop is that it will not involve blind reviews. Instead, each young researcher will be assigned one panelist/reviewer whose name will be disclosed as part of the review report. This provides a unique opportunity for the participating young researchers to get in contact with their reviewers and to receive valuable input for their work and presentations before the actual workshop takes place.
