SUSTAINABILITY IN SOFTWARE PRODUCT LINES (SUSPL 2014)

1st International Workshop

September 15, 2014, Florence, Italy

Overview

Sustainability encompasses a wide set of aims: ranging from energy efficient software products (environmental sustainability), reduction of software development and maintenance costs (economic sustainability), to employee well-being (social sustainability). The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the role that sustainability will play in software product lines development. We aim to study how sustainability manifests itself in domain engineering, via study of, for instance, sustainability patterns in domain analysis, architectural decisions motivated by specific sustainability concerns, types of variability that results from sustainability considerations, etc., as well as engineering of sustainability as a domain itself. This workshop will explore the research challenges and define a long term research agenda for Sustainability in Software Product Line Engineering.

The goals of the Sustainability in Software Product Lines (SUSPL) workshop are:
  • To consolidate cutting edge research and practice on how software product lines can incorporate sustainability and support sustainable software development. 
  • Create a repository of examples of sustainability in/for/through SPL in order to serve as a common resource for research, education, and practice in SPL, software engineering, and Sustainability communities. 
  • Foster a research and practitioner community that will set out and tackle the long-term research and development agenda in this field. 
The intended results of the workshop are 
  • Initiation of the discussion/collaboration platform for those working on various aspects of sustainability in/through SPL  
  • Creation of the first State of Sustainability in Software Product Lines report which will be published on the workshop web site
  •  Initiation of the examples repository to illustrate, motivate, and educate research and development in sustainability in SPL
