CALL FOR PAPERS

The Second Workshop on Service-Oriented Architecture and Software Product Lines (SOAPL 2008): Service-Oriented Architectures and Software Product Lines - Putting Both Together http://www.sei.cmu.edu/productlines/SOAPL2008/ Limerick, Ireland, September 8, 2008

as part of the 12th International Software Product line Conference (SPLC 2008) http://www.lero.ie/SPLC2008

MOTIVATION

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and software product line (SPL) approaches to software development share a common goal. They both encourage an organization to reuse existing assets and capabilities, rather than repeatedly redevelop them for new systems.

The intent is that organizations can capitalize on reuse to achieve desired benefits such as productivity gains, decreased development costs, improved time to market, higher reliability, and competitive advantage.

The SOAPL Workshop gives participants an opportunity to examine the benefits of combining the two approaches.

OBJECTIVES

This workshop will build on the results of the SOAPL 2007 Workshop: Service-Oriented Architectures and Product Lines - What Is the Connection? and the forthcoming workshop report. This year's workshop, SOAPL 2008, will explore experiences in integrating SOA and SPLs, specifically:

- how web services have been used to support SPLs through SOA - how product line practices have been used to support web services and SOA

Participants in SOAPL 2008 will include practitioners, architects, and developers who have experience in integrating SOA and SPL engineering and management.

TOPICS

Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - practice areas that span both SOA and SPLs (e.g., domain analysis, legacy mining, operations/ governance, and so forth) - handling variability through services - cost models to justify investment in SOA for SPLs - use of support technology such as domain-specific languages, tools, and others - differences between service-oriented and more conventional product line development approaches - architectural approaches: static vs. dynamic

SUBMISSIONS Prospective participants must submit a three to six page position paper or experience report that pertains to the workshop topics listed above or describes the software architecture or other artifacts of an SOA-based product line.

All submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee for quality and relevance. Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings. Three or four papers will be chosen to be presented during the workshop to foment discussion. Submit your paper in PDF form to [soa-workshop at sei.cmu.edu] by July 1, 2008.
