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 23rd International Systems and Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2019) will be held from September 9th to 13th, in the vibrant city of Paris, France and will be co-located with the 13th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA, https://ecsa2019.univ-lille.fr/).

TRACKS
=====

* Research Papers
High quality research work that uses established scientific methodologies, written using high standards of academic technical publications (see https://splc.lip6.fr/call-for-papers/call-for-research-papers/).

* 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
This track highlights doctoral proposals, both early and mid- phase, to be reviewed and commented on by a panel of experts.

* 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.

* Panel Proposals
SPLC provides multiples opportunities for exchanging and discussing ideas and visions for software product line engineering. We call for your proposals for panels on software product line related topics.
