**** CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ****
=======================================
26th ACM International Systems and Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2022)
September 12-16, 2022
Venue: Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria
Consolidated Call for Papers
Web site: http://2022.splc.net/ 
Twitter:  @splcconf
=======================================
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.

* Research Papers
The International Systems and Software Product Lines Conference (SPLC) is the leading conference on variability and configuration of hardware and software systems. Researchers, practitioners, and educators present and discuss the most recent research breakthroughs, ideas, trends, experiences, challenges and solutions to advance the state-of-the-art. SPLC is ranked as a top conference and for this 26th edition, we strive to continue the success of previous years by welcoming high-quality submissions for the research track.
* Industrial Systems and Software Product Lines in Practice Papers
For some decades now, product line engineering has been adopted in a myriad of different scenarios, including a broad variety of industrial domains. Many organizations have already benefited from implemented product line practices by improving customizability and quality while significantly reducing time-to-market and costs of engineering software-intensive products. Moreover, product lines have also shown promising results in other areas where an explicit management of variability can provide answers to the challenges posed by the domain. However, applying product line engineering also encounters a wide range of difficulties that can hinder their success and adoption. For instance, the emergence of Industry 4.0 and new technologies including artificial intelligence, digital twins, blockchain, and cyber-security technologies as well as crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic are posing new challenges – but offering new opportunities on the other hand. We seek contributions from industrial and academic researchers on applications of product line engineering to software and systems in practice, sharing their specifics, challenges, successes, and evaluations in all stages of technology readiness levels.
* Challenge Cases 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
The SPLC Doctoral Symposium aims to provide a supportive environment that enables doctoral students to get constructive feedback on their research. Students will have the opportunity to discuss their work with experienced members of the community.
* 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.

Data entirely hand-typed, one call for papers at a time. There is no scraper behind any of this: I read the announcement and type the dates in, in the gaps between other work, and with the hope it is useful to others. Organisers then move deadlines without telling anyone, calls get edited in place, and now and then the typing is simply wrong. Treat this as a well-meaning notebook rather than an authority, and check the conference’s own page before you submit anything you care about.
