Software Product Lines represent an important and growing software
development paradigm, and SPLC is the leading forum for researches
and practitioners working in the field. SPLC 2006, the tenth
official gathering of the software product line community, is a
result of the merging two former conferences: the Software Product
Line Conference (SPLC) which began in 2000 in the USA, and the Product
Family Engineering (PFE) Conference which began in 1996 in Europe.

SPLC 2006 will provide a venue for practitioners, researchers, and
educators to reflect on the achievements made during the past decade,
assess the current state of the field, and identify key challenges
still facing researchers and practitioners. The conference will
feature research and experience papers, topical panels, tutorials,
workshops, demonstrations, birds-of-a-feather discussions, and other
opportunities for members of the product line community to interact.

Keynote Speakers:
Carliss Baldwin, Harvard Business School
"Unmanageable Design Architectures: What They Are
and Their Financial Consequences"
Gregor Kiczales, University of British Columbia
"Radical Research In Modularity:
Aspect-Oriented Programming and Other Ideas"
