In 2014, SPLC will be held in Florence, Italy.

For the research track, we invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished results of in all areas related to software and system product line engineering.

The topics include but are not limited to:

• Validation and verification
• Non-functional considerations
• Multi product lines, product lines of product lines
• Open source systems
• Software ecosystems and supply chains
• Incremental development of product lines
• Non-traditional applications of product line concepts

We invite the following two categories of contributions:
• Full papers describing original results of conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and experimental research. The papers in this category must rely on theoretical and/or empirical evaluation.
• Short/Vision papers describing emerging technical and business directions, future trends, emerging ideas and outstanding challenges along with possible approaches for resolving them.

Page limit is 10 pages for full papers and 5 pages for short/vision papers. Submissions should follow the ACM SIGS proceedings format and will be reviewed by at least three members of the SPLC 2014 Research Track program committee.
