SPLC 2009 Conference

San Francisco, California

Organizations use software product line approaches to achieve significant time-to-market, cost, quality, and agility advantages. Such approaches involve optimized practices and processes, technology, and tools, all aimed at strategic, planned reuse—reuse of technical and business artifacts throughout the life cycle. The success of product line approaches depends on overall organizational goals and context in addition to the implementation of appropriate product line practices and technologies. This strong interrelationship between organizational concerns and engineering practices makes working and researching in the field of software product lines as interesting as it is challenging.

The product line community is in its second decade. SPLC is the premium forum for product line researchers and practitioners. Reported case study reports and methodological frameworks are often very similar at a high level but quite different in implementation details. It is time for the product line community to collect and understand the similarities and differences of practical implementations and research results more systematically and explicitly.
