We are very happy to announce that we are hosting the  18^th International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems (VaMoS 2024). The  VaMoS conferences aim at bringing together “researchers and practitioners to share ideas, results and experiences about their quest for mastering variability”.  Prof. Dr. Timo Kehrer serves as general chair and will organize the conference together with his team and further renown researchers on variability modeling of software-intensive systems. The conference will take place in the buildings of the university from February 7^th to 9^th, 2024.

At the  17^th International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems (VaMoS 2023),  Sandra Greiner was honored with a Distinguished Reviewer Award.

At this year’s hybrid  SPLC conference in Graz, Austria,  Sandra Greiner co-organized the fifth edition of the  VariVolution workshop. The workshop aims to bring together researchers studying software evolution and variability from different angles as well as practitioners encountering these phenomena in real-world applications and systems.
