About
The FOSD meeting is a yearly informal meeting to bring together researchers working on feature-oriented software development. This includes product lines, software variability, configuration management, software architecture and more.
The meeting has its roots 10 years ago, aiming to bring several research groups with common interests closer together, and has successfully been expanded and repeated 10 times with 20 to 50 each. It has established countless collaborations since; for examples please refer to FOSD 2018 Meeting in Gothenburg and FOSD 2017 Meeting in Darmstadt.
The format of the FOSD meeting consists of short presentations from each participant with plenty of time for discussion. Young researchers (graduate and undergraduate students), as well as more senior community members, present their research, provide and get feedback from others, engage into discussions and establish new collaborations. FOSD is a place for discussion, not a publication venue. Participants can present previously published work as well as unpublished work, including early ideas and work in progress. The key is to encourage discussions, receive feedback and create a network for new collaboration.
Every year there is an informal competition, the FOSD Cool Wall (see fosd.net), where everyone votes for the coolest name of a tool that has been presented during the meeting.
The FOSD 2019 meeting will take place in Weimar, Germany from March 12 (9 am) until March 15 (4 pm). Every participant will have the chance to present her/his research ideas, which can range from visionary to already evaluated. Every topic around FOSD that stimulates discussion is welcome. We will provide space and time for further discussions, including social events.
The deadline for the abstract is Dec 15, 2018. FOSD does not require any paper submission and does not have proceedings, although we do expect an abstract about the research that is to be presented and an e-mail address of the participant. Owing to space restrictions, we may have to select participants, but we will send notifications shortly after the abstract deadline. If you need more lead time for visa application or travel planning, reach out to us.
Talks
This year, each participant is allocated a slot of 25 minutes. Please prepare slides that do not require more than 13 minutes of presentation such that we have at least half of the slot for discussions. The 13‑minute time limit will be enforced strictly.
