A New Software Product Lines Community Wiki to Keep your Eye on.

A new Software Product Lines Community Wiki site has been set up, where contributors can submit patterns of variation mechanism usage.

The site is the brain child of the participants of a one-day workshop entitled “Managing Variability for Software Product Lines: Working With Variability Mechanisms” that was held in conjunction with the 2006 Software Product Line Conference on August 21, 2006 in Baltimore, USA.

The workshop's goal was to begin to fill the void between variability requirements visible to those who deal with features and other product-level concerns, and the variation mechanisms visible to creators and consumers of a product line’s core assets.

The workshop participants wanted to begin to codify a body of knowledge for the informed and purposeful selection of variation mechanisms to use in a software product line’s core assets. They decide to start the Software Product Lines community Wiki.

You can find the "Managing Variability- Working With Variability Mechanisms" (IESE-Report No 152.06/E Version 1.0) paper here.

There also other papers from the 2006 Software Product Line Conference available here.

You can find the new Software Product Lines community Wiki site here. Keep in mind that the site is brand new and doesn't really contain much, if any, useful information yet. But I have high hopes for it. The Second Workshop on Managing Variability for Software Product Lines: Working With Variation Mechanisms (SPLC 2007) has put out the request for papers (here), and one of the options for submission is to submit your variation mechanism pattern to the Wiki site.
