Call for most influential paper award nominations
The Software Product Line (SPL) Conference has a Most Influential Paper (MIP) award to recognize significant research contributions to SPLs over the last 20 years. Nominations are sought and will be reviewed by a committee of past 3-years of SPLC PC chairs. A MIP should have been published in the last 10-20 year window. A MIP could have appeared in any conference or journal venue, not just SPLC. For more information on what papers can be nominated and how to nominate a paper for the SPLC-MIP award, please refer to: http://www.splc.net/mip-award
Submit before February, 28th to be considered for 2023 Award
