Challenges and Solutions Papers (https://variability-challenges.github.io/)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We highly encourage community members to provide concrete sets of case studies and problems that showcase SPL-related challenges.

First, there is a “call for cases” where researchers or practitioners are encouraged to contribute a concrete case study.

Second, after the accepted cases are published, there is a “call for solutions”. Both, accepted case descriptions and solutions, will be included in the conference proceedings.

This year, we are placing a special emphasis in our call for cases on the need for actionable benchmarks and competition, akin to those prevalent in the machine learning and SAT communities, and as developed on platforms like Kaggle.
