== Call for Papers ==

 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 modelled. Numerous variability modelling techniques
 have been proposed both by academia and industry.

 The aim of the VaMoS workshop series is to bring together researchers from various
 areas of variability modelling to discuss advantages, drawbacks and complementarities
 of various approaches and to present new results for variability modelling and
 management.

== Workshop Format ==

 VaMoS 2010, like the three previous VaMoS workshops, will be a highly interactive
 event. Each session will be organized such that discussions among presenters of papers,
 discussants and other participants are stimulated. Typically, after a paper is
 presented, it is immediately discussed by pre-assigned discussants, after which a free
 discussion involving all participants follows. Each session is closed by a general
 discussion of all papers presented in the session.
 The workshop language is English.
 Attendance is restricted to authors of accepted papers, invited speakers, organisers
 and PC members.

== Topics (non-exclusive) ==

 -Modelling variability in functional, quality and economics requirements
 -Modelling variability in the architecture
 -Separation of Concerns
 -Feature oriented software development
 -Visualization of variability
 -Handling complexity
 -Formal reasoning and automated analysis on variability
 -Configuration in variability management
 -Application (e.g., embedded systems, information systems, service-based systems)
 -Tool support

== Submissions ==

 We look forward to receiving the following types of submissions:
 Problem statements describing open issues of theoretical or practical nature.
 -Experience reports which report on positive or negative experiences.
 -Surveys and comparative studies that investigate pros, cons and complementarities of
  existing variability modelling approaches.
 -Research in progress including research results at a premature stage.
 -Vision papers stating where the research in the field should be heading towards.
 -Tool demonstrations describing the variability-related features of CASE tools.

 The length of the submitted papers should be between 4 and 8 pages in IEEE CS
 proceedings format. Details on how to submit will be available on the VaMoS web site:
 http://www.vamos-workshop.net

== Publication ==

 The proceedings of the workshop will be published as a Research Report of
 the Institute for Computer Science and Business Information Systems (ICB) of
 the University of Duisburg-Essen (ISSN 1860-2770). Last editions of VaMoS are indexed
 in the DBLP repository: http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/vamos/index.html


== Important Dates ==

 Submission deadline:    November 10, 2009
 Notification of acceptance:     December 10, 2009
 VaMoS workshop:        January 27-29, 2010
