Managing variability is a major issue in the development, maintenance, and evolution of software-intensive systems. To be managed effectively and efficiently, variability must be explicitly modeled. As in VaMoS'11, the upcoming workshop goes beyond its predecessors by addressing variability more widely, including variability in requirements, architecture, implementation, validation, and verification as well as evolution of variability -- just to name the most important of the related issues.

 

The aim of the VaMoS workshop series is to bring together researchers from various areas dedicated to mastering variability to discuss advantages, drawbacks, and complementarities of various approaches, and to present new results for mastering variability throughout the whole life cycle of systems, system families, and product lines.
