Introduction

The concept of adaptation and self-adaptation of systems, in particular at runtime has caught the attention of the research community at large, both inside the domain of SPL as well as outside SPL in areas like models-at-runtime, self-adaptive systems, ubiquitous computing, etc. Dynamic software product lines (DSPL) constitute an emerging but promising research area where SPL concepts are entangled with runtime variability mechanisms, context information and runtime adaptation. However, the challenge to create better and smarter adaptable systems is still challenging. The workshop is intended as a highly interactive forum using a discussant format and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, to establish cooperations, and to bring industry and research together.
