Variability-Aware Design Patterns (joint work with Sven Schuster and Christoph Seidl)

When developing large and complex software systems, software design is an essential topic. To establish high-quality design, various concepts emerged for individual software, resulting in design patterns as a means to reuse established solutions for recurring design problems. By addressing modularity and variability, specific design patterns allow customization of software. Software product lines (SPL) are an emerging concept to satisfy the demand for customization by reusing commonalities and variabilities within a family of similar software systems. Feature-oriented programming (FOP) is an implementation approach tailored to SPL development, modularizing realization artifacts along features and increasing variability-awareness. While design patterns are defined for individual software, their application in the context of SPLs is yet unknown. We introduce variability-aware design patterns as a means to combine design patterns with feature modularity, which means, applying design patterns in SPLs in a decomposed manner. To analyze the usage of variability-aware design patterns, we conduct a family-based case study on the usage of several GOF-patterns in feature-oriented SPLs. We observed different design patterns being decomposed along features in a similar fashion. Generally, abstractions introducing the general pattern concepts are never decomposed, whereas concrete implementations often are. Using the results, we derive guidelines and application rules for the analyzed design patterns in the context of SPLs. To describe the decomposed application of design patterns in a general fashion, we introduce family role models (FRM) as an extension to role modeling, a modeling approach focusing on role collaborations. We document our findings and derivations in a catalog of variability-aware design patterns.

=IFIP Working Group 2.11, Fourteenth Meeting=

==January 20-22, 2015, Stellenbosch, South Africa (excursion January 19)==

The meeting will be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa, hosted by Bernd Fischer. There will be a full-day excursion to the Cape Peninsula on January 19. More details, program, and registration information will be appearing on this page before the end of September.

=== Travel ===

Note that the meeting will be in the southern Summer, and Stellenbosch (and all of South Africa) will be busy, so arrange your flights and accommodation early.

==== Visa Information ====

Visitors from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_South_Africa link title most EU countries, US, Canada, Japan, Australia and most of South America] don't need a visa to visit South Africa. The complete (official) list is available at the [http://www.home-affairs.gov.za/index.php/immigration-services/exempt-countries Department of Home Affairs]. The Department also has the details for a visa application. Please contact [mailto:bfischer@cs.sun.ac.za Bernd Fischer] if you need an invitation letter to obtain your visa.

'''UPDATE:''' The visa regulations are currently changing (or supposed to change - there's politics at work...). If you need a visa, or if you are planning to combine the meeting with a family vacation, please talk to the embassy!

==== Getting to Stellenbosch ====

The closest airport to Stellenbosch is [http://www.acsa.co.za/home.asp?pid=229 Cape Town International (CPT)]. Most international flights connect in Johannesburg, but there are direct flghts from London (Virgin, BA), Amsterdam (KLM), Paris (Air France), Munich (Lufthansa), Zuerich (Edelweiss), Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Doha (Qatar Airways), Dubai (Emirates), and Singapore (Singapore Airlines). Note that some of these flights are seasonal and operate only during the Summer, so they might not show up yet.

CPT is about 35km from Stellenbosch; the best transfer option is to book an airport shuttle:
* [http://www.bettinashuttle.co.za/home Bettina's]
* [http://www.travelwithandre.co.za/ Travel with Andre]
* [http://www.shuttleup.co.za/ Shuttle Up]
* [http://www.capetownairportshuttles.co.za/ Cape Town Airport Shuttles]
Note that some companies provide a direct taxi service which is more convenient but more expensive (prices for this should be around US$40-45). Please contact the companies directly. If you book with Bettina's, please refer to the "IFIP meeting", and you will get the University rate.

Stellenbosch is small and easily navigatable by foot, and the venue is in walking distance to most hotels and B&Bs. You won't need a rental car unless you are planning to stay on a wine farm, or to go on a road-trip before or after the conference.

==== Accommodation ====

Stellenbosch offers a wide variety of different accommodation options. Prices range from about US$15 for a hostel to US$200+ for a top-end hotel; most B&Bs will be in the range from US$70 to US$150. Please make your own arrangements. Below is a list of downtown accommodations that have been used before by other meetings. The [http://www.stellenbosch.travel/stay Stellenbosch tourist office] has more alternatives, including wine farms.

==== About South Africa and Stellenbosch ====

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is a country located at the southern tip of Africa. It is divided into nine provinces and has 2,798 kilometres (1,739 mi) of coastline. To the north lie the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is an enclave surrounded by South African territory. South Africa is the 25th largest country in the world by area and the 24th most populous country with over 51 million people. [more at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa Wikipedia]]

Stellenbosch is a town in the Western Cape province of South Africa, situated about 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of Cape Town, along the banks of the Eerste River. It is the second oldest European settlement in the province, after Cape Town. The town became known as the City of Oaks or Eikestad in Afrikaans and Dutch due to the large number of oak trees that were planted by its founder, Simon van der Stel, to grace the streets and homesteads. [more at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellenbosch Wikipedia/]]

The [http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=South+Africa&city=Cape+Town cost of living] in South Africa is much lower than in Europe or the US. This is particularly true for tourist activities.

==== Excursions ====

We will do a joint excursion to the Cape Peninsula on Monday January 19th, those who register for the excursion will pay a single but higher fee for attending the meeting.

Some links for the Stellenbosch Winelands
* [http://www.wineroute.co.za/welcome.aspx Stellenbosch Wine Route]
* [http://www.cs.sun.ac.za/lpar-19/logistics/information/capefusiontours.com/pams-favourite-wine-farms Cape Wine Estates]
* [http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g312673-Activities-Stellenbosch_Western_Cape.html Stellenbosch Activities on Trip Advisor]

Ideas for a few extra days:
* Spend the weekend in Cape Town and explore the city - Table Mountain is certainly a prime target. You could also go to Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden (although the prime bloom will be over then), and even climb Table Mountain from there (although this could be hot and strenuous that time of the year). Cape Town has quite a lot of night life, especially on the weekend.
* Explore the Stellenbosch surroundings. For this, you should probably get a rental car. There are literally hundreds of wine farms in the surroundings, if you want to go for a tasting. The Paarl Taal Monument (monument to the Afrikaans language) is an interesting cultural experience, and you can go on to the Paarl rock (large granite Boulder). Franschhoeck is a another cute town.
* Get out to the Cederberg Mountains - a nice mountainous area about 2-3hours north of Cape Town, with nice mountain walks (Wolfberg Cracks, some caves). You could stay at Clanwilliam, or look for a place in the mountain reserve (look for Algeria). The roads are mostly dirt (ie unpaved) but we have driven them in a Polo...
* Hike the Bosmanskloof Traverse (either as an overnight hike, or as a day-hike), staying in McGregor or Grayton.
* Go to Calitzdorp for Port tasting, Oudtshoorn for the ostriches (and the very tourist-trappy Cango Caves, a huge limestone cave), and drive some of the "poorts" (ie old Mountain passes), like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swartberg_Pass Swartbergpass] into Prince Albert, a quaint Karoo town.
* Go shark cage diving in Struisbaai.

Exept for the Cape Town weekend, most trips will require a rental car. You can get a driver for the wine tasting tour, which is probably a smart idea in the first place...

Safaris

There are no lions running around in Stellenbosch ;-). The closest ones are at the [http://www.lionrescue.org.za/ Drakenstein Lion Park], which is basically a retirement home for lions. There are a few private game reserves within two to three hours drive of Stellenbosch (e.g., [http://www.sanbona.com/propertydefault.asp?MicroSiteID=3 Sanbona]), but they are not cheap. The closest National Parks with substantial wildlife are [http://www.sanparks.co.za/parks/mountain_zebra/ Mountain Zebra NP] and [http://www.sanparks.org/parks/addo/ Addo Elephant NP] (about 8-10hrs drive from Stellenbosch, but Addo is quite close to Port Elizabeth, which is one hour by plane from Cape Town). If you plan to visit [http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/ Krueger NP] you should probably fly with a stop-over in Johannesburg, and plan on at least four extra days.

=== Venue ===

The meeting will be held at the Wallenberg Center of the [http://stias.ac.za/ Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study ] ([https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-33.934957,18.873299&spn=0.005172,0.010568&t=m&z=17&layer=c&cbll=-33.935071,18.873269&panoid=JeUfsD7gZihdv1L5a3gYqw&cbp=12,91.15,,0,0.27&source=embed&output=svembed Streetview] [http://stias.ac.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/map.jpg Schematic map]). This is to the east of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellenbosch_University Stellenbosch University] Campus ([http://www.cs.sun.ac.za/lpar-19/logistics/map.pdf Campus map]). Most B&B's, hotels, and restaurants are within 10-15mins walk.

== Registration ==

Registration fees will be USD 250 / EUR 200 / GBP 160 / ZAR 2800. Registration is simply by adding your name to the attendance list below. There will be two payment options:

* Cash (ZAR) on the first day of the meeting. Note that there are plenty of ATMs in Stellenbosch.
* Bank transfer (USD / EUR / GBP). If you prefer bank transfer, mail me and I will mail you account information in the US, UK, or Germany.

The cost for the excursion will depend on the number of participants; I aim to keep it in a range of USD 70-100, including National Park entrance fees and food. Please register for the excursion by adding your name below.

On arrival, you will receive a single receipt on University letterhead. This will be issued for the currency you used for your payment. The registration fee covers all meals. (Note that STIAS doesn't serve breakfast before the meeting starts, but that should be covered by your B&B).

=IFIP Working Group 2.11, Fourteenth Meeting=

==January 20-22, 2015, Stellenbosch, South Africa (excursion January 19)==

The meeting will be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa, hosted by Bernd Fischer. There will be a full-day excursion to the Cape Peninsula on January 19. More details, program, and registration information will be appearing on this page before the end of September.

=== Travel ===

Note that the meeting will be in the southern Summer, and Stellenbosch (and all of South Africa) will be busy, so arrange your flights and accommodation early.

==== Visa Information ====

Visitors from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_South_Africa link title most EU countries, US, Canada, Japan, Australia and most of South America] don't need a visa to visit South Africa. The complete (official) list is available at the [http://www.home-affairs.gov.za/index.php/immigration-services/exempt-countries Department of Home Affairs]. The Department also has the details for a visa application. Please contact [mailto:bfischer@cs.sun.ac.za Bernd Fischer] if you need an invitation letter to obtain your visa.

'''UPDATE:''' The visa regulations are currently changing (or supposed to change - there's politics at work...). If you need a visa, or if you are planning to combine the meeting with a family vacation, please talk to the embassy!

==== Getting to Stellenbosch ====

The closest airport to Stellenbosch is [http://www.acsa.co.za/home.asp?pid=229 Cape Town International (CPT)]. Most international flights connect in Johannesburg, but there are direct flghts from London (Virgin, BA), Amsterdam (KLM), Paris (Air France), Munich (Lufthansa), Zuerich (Edelweiss), Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Doha (Qatar Airways), Dubai (Emirates), and Singapore (Singapore Airlines). Note that some of these flights are seasonal and operate only during the Summer, so they might not show up yet.

CPT is about 35km from Stellenbosch; the best transfer option is to book an airport shuttle:
* [http://www.bettinashuttle.co.za/home Bettina's]
* [http://www.travelwithandre.co.za/ Travel with Andre]
* [http://www.shuttleup.co.za/ Shuttle Up]
* [http://www.capetownairportshuttles.co.za/ Cape Town Airport Shuttles]
Note that some companies provide a direct taxi service which is more convenient but more expensive (prices for this should be around US$40-45). Please contact the companies directly. If you book with Bettina's, please refer to the "IFIP meeting", and you will get the University rate.

Stellenbosch is small and easily navigatable by foot, and the venue is in walking distance to most hotels and B&Bs. You won't need a rental car unless you are planning to stay on a wine farm, or to go on a road-trip before or after the conference.

==== Accommodation ====

Stellenbosch offers a wide variety of different accommodation options. Prices range from about US$15 for a hostel to US$200+ for a top-end hotel; most B&Bs will be in the range from US$70 to US$150. Please make your own arrangements. Below is a list of downtown accommodations that have been used before by other meetings. The [http://www.stellenbosch.travel/stay Stellenbosch tourist office] has more alternatives, including wine farms.

Here is a number of guest houses that are between Stias and the central town area, covering different price ranges:

==== About South Africa and Stellenbosch ====

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is a country located at the southern tip of Africa. It is divided into nine provinces and has 2,798 kilometres (1,739 mi) of coastline. To the north lie the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is an enclave surrounded by South African territory. South Africa is the 25th largest country in the world by area and the 24th most populous country with over 51 million people. [more at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa Wikipedia]]

Stellenbosch is a town in the Western Cape province of South Africa, situated about 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of Cape Town, along the banks of the Eerste River. It is the second oldest European settlement in the province, after Cape Town. The town became known as the City of Oaks or Eikestad in Afrikaans and Dutch due to the large number of oak trees that were planted by its founder, Simon van der Stel, to grace the streets and homesteads. [more at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellenbosch Wikipedia/]]

The [http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=South+Africa&city=Cape+Town cost of living] in South Africa is much lower than in Europe or the US. This is particularly true for tourist activities.

==== Excursions ====

We will do a joint excursion to the Cape Peninsula on Monday January 19th, those who register for the excursion will pay a single but higher fee for attending the meeting.

Some links for the Stellenbosch Winelands
* [http://www.wineroute.co.za/welcome.aspx Stellenbosch Wine Route]
* [http://www.cs.sun.ac.za/lpar-19/logistics/information/capefusiontours.com/pams-favourite-wine-farms Cape Wine Estates]
* [http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g312673-Activities-Stellenbosch_Western_Cape.html Stellenbosch Activities on Trip Advisor]

Ideas for a few extra days:
* Spend the weekend in Cape Town and explore the city - Table Mountain is certainly a prime target. You could also go to Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden (although the prime bloom will be over then), and even climb Table Mountain from there (although this could be hot and strenuous that time of the year). Cape Town has quite a lot of night life, especially on the weekend.
* Explore the Stellenbosch surroundings. For this, you should probably get a rental car. There are literally hundreds of wine farms in the surroundings, if you want to go for a tasting. The Paarl Taal Monument (monument to the Afrikaans language) is an interesting cultural experience, and you can go on to the Paarl rock (large granite Boulder). Franschhoeck is a another cute town.
* Get out to the Cederberg Mountains - a nice mountainous area about 2-3hours north of Cape Town, with nice mountain walks (Wolfberg Cracks, some caves). You could stay at Clanwilliam, or look for a place in the mountain reserve (look for Algeria). The roads are mostly dirt (ie unpaved) but we have driven them in a Polo...
* Hike the Bosmanskloof Traverse (either as an overnight hike, or as a day-hike), staying in McGregor or Grayton.
* Go to Calitzdorp for Port tasting, Oudtshoorn for the ostriches (and the very tourist-trappy Cango Caves, a huge limestone cave), and drive some of the "poorts" (ie old Mountain passes), like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swartberg_Pass Swartbergpass] into Prince Albert, a quaint Karoo town.
* Go shark cage diving in Struisbaai.

Exept for the Cape Town weekend, most trips will require a rental car. You can get a driver for the wine tasting tour, which is probably a smart idea in the first place...

Safaris

There are no lions running around in Stellenbosch ;-). The closest ones are at the [http://www.lionrescue.org.za/ Drakenstein Lion Park], which is basically a retirement home for lions. There are a few private game reserves within two to three hours drive of Stellenbosch (e.g., [http://www.sanbona.com/propertydefault.asp?MicroSiteID=3 Sanbona]), but they are not cheap. The closest National Parks with substantial wildlife are [http://www.sanparks.co.za/parks/mountain_zebra/ Mountain Zebra NP] and [http://www.sanparks.org/parks/addo/ Addo Elephant NP] (about 8-10hrs drive from Stellenbosch, but Addo is quite close to Port Elizabeth, which is one hour by plane from Cape Town). If you plan to visit [http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/ Krueger NP] you should probably fly with a stop-over in Johannesburg, and plan on at least four extra days.

=== Venue ===

The meeting will be held at the Wallenberg Center of the [http://stias.ac.za/ Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study ] ([https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-33.934957,18.873299&spn=0.005172,0.010568&t=m&z=17&layer=c&cbll=-33.935071,18.873269&panoid=JeUfsD7gZihdv1L5a3gYqw&cbp=12,91.15,,0,0.27&source=embed&output=svembed Streetview] [http://stias.ac.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/map.jpg Schematic map]). This is to the east of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellenbosch_University Stellenbosch University] Campus ([http://www.cs.sun.ac.za/lpar-19/logistics/map.pdf Campus map]). Most B&B's, hotels, and restaurants are within 10-15mins walk.

== Registration ==

Registration fees will be USD 250 / EUR 200 / GBP 160 / ZAR 2800. Registration is simply by adding your name to the attendance list below. There will be two payment options:

* Cash (ZAR) on the first day of the meeting. Note that there are plenty of ATMs in Stellenbosch.
* Bank transfer (USD / EUR / GBP). If you prefer bank transfer, mail me and I will mail you account information in the US, UK, or Germany.

The cost for the excursion will depend on the number of participants; I aim to keep it in a range of USD 70-100, including National Park entrance fees and food. Please register for the excursion by adding your name below.

On arrival, you will receive a single receipt on University letterhead. This will be issued for the currency you used for your payment. The registration fee covers all meals. (Note that STIAS doesn't serve breakfast before the meeting starts, but that should be covered by your B&B).

Visitors from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_South_Africa link title most EU countries, US, Canada, Japan, Australia and most of South America] don't need a visa to visit South Africa. The complete (official) list is available at the [http://www.home-affairs.gov.za/index.php/immigration-services/exempt-countries Department of Home Affairs]. The Department also has the details for a visa application. Please contact [mailto:bfischer@cs.sun.ac.za Bernd Fischer] if you need an invitation letter to obtain your visa.

'''UPDATE:''' The visa regulations are currently changing (or supposed to change - there's politics at work...). If you need a visa, or if you are planning to combine the meeting with a family vacation, please talk to the embassy!

==== Getting to Stellenbosch ====

The closest airport to Stellenbosch is [http://www.acsa.co.za/home.asp?pid=229 Cape Town International (CPT)]. Most international flights connect in Johannesburg, but there are direct flghts from London (Virgin, BA), Amsterdam (KLM), Paris (Air France), Munich (Lufthansa), Zuerich (Edelweiss), Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Doha (Qatar Airways), Dubai (Emirates), and Singapore (Singapore Airlines). Note that some of these flights are seasonal and operate only during the Summer, so they might not show up yet.

CPT is about 35km from Stellenbosch; the best transfer option is to book an airport shuttle:
* [http://www.bettinashuttle.co.za/home Bettina's]
* [http://www.travelwithandre.co.za/ Travel with Andre]
* [http://www.shuttleup.co.za/ Shuttle Up]
* [http://www.capetownairportshuttles.co.za/ Cape Town Airport Shuttles]
Note that some companies provide a direct taxi service which is more convenient but more expensive (prices for this should be around US$40-45). Please contact the companies directly. If you book with Bettina's, please refer to the "IFIP meeting", and you will get the University rate.

Stellenbosch is small and easily navigatable by foot, and the venue is in walking distance to most hotels and B&Bs. You won't need a rental car unless you are planning to stay on a wine farm, or to go on a road-trip before or after the conference.

==== Accommodation ====

Stellenbosch offers a wide variety of different accommodation options. Prices range from about US$15 for a hostel to US$200+ for a top-end hotel; most B&Bs will be in the range from US$70 to US$150. Please make your own arrangements. Below is a list of downtown accommodations that have been used before by other meetings. The [http://www.stellenbosch.travel/stay Stellenbosch tourist office] has more alternatives, including wine farms.

Here is a number of guest houses that are between Stias and the central town area, covering different price ranges:

==== About South Africa and Stellenbosch ====

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is a country located at the southern tip of Africa. It is divided into nine provinces and has 2,798 kilometres (1,739 mi) of coastline. To the north lie the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is an enclave surrounded by South African territory. South Africa is the 25th largest country in the world by area and the 24th most populous country with over 51 million people. [more at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa Wikipedia]]

Stellenbosch is a town in the Western Cape province of South Africa, situated about 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of Cape Town, along the banks of the Eerste River. It is the second oldest European settlement in the province, after Cape Town. The town became known as the City of Oaks or Eikestad in Afrikaans and Dutch due to the large number of oak trees that were planted by its founder, Simon van der Stel, to grace the streets and homesteads. [more at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellenbosch Wikipedia/]]

The [http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=South+Africa&city=Cape+Town cost of living] in South Africa is much lower than in Europe or the US. This is particularly true for tourist activities.

==== Excursions ====

We will do a joint excursion to the Cape Peninsula on Monday January 19th, those who register for the excursion will pay a single but higher fee for attending the meeting.

Some links for the Stellenbosch Winelands
* [http://www.wineroute.co.za/welcome.aspx Stellenbosch Wine Route]
* [http://www.cs.sun.ac.za/lpar-19/logistics/information/capefusiontours.com/pams-favourite-wine-farms Cape Wine Estates]
* [http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g312673-Activities-Stellenbosch_Western_Cape.html Stellenbosch Activities on Trip Advisor]

Ideas for a few extra days:
* Spend the weekend in Cape Town and explore the city - Table Mountain is certainly a prime target. You could also go to Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden (although the prime bloom will be over then), and even climb Table Mountain from there (although this could be hot and strenuous that time of the year). Cape Town has quite a lot of night life, especially on the weekend.
* Explore the Stellenbosch surroundings. For this, you should probably get a rental car. There are literally hundreds of wine farms in the surroundings, if you want to go for a tasting. The Paarl Taal Monument (monument to the Afrikaans language) is an interesting cultural experience, and you can go on to the Paarl rock (large granite Boulder). Franschhoeck is a another cute town.
* Get out to the Cederberg Mountains - a nice mountainous area about 2-3hours north of Cape Town, with nice mountain walks (Wolfberg Cracks, some caves). You could stay at Clanwilliam, or look for a place in the mountain reserve (look for Algeria). The roads are mostly dirt (ie unpaved) but we have driven them in a Polo...
* Hike the Bosmanskloof Traverse (either as an overnight hike, or as a day-hike), staying in McGregor or Grayton.
* Go to Calitzdorp for Port tasting, Oudtshoorn for the ostriches (and the very tourist-trappy Cango Caves, a huge limestone cave), and drive some of the "poorts" (ie old Mountain passes), like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swartberg_Pass Swartbergpass] into Prince Albert, a quaint Karoo town.
* Go shark cage diving in Struisbaai.

Exept for the Cape Town weekend, most trips will require a rental car. You can get a driver for the wine tasting tour, which is probably a smart idea in the first place...

Safaris

There are no lions running around in Stellenbosch ;-). The closest ones are at the [http://www.lionrescue.org.za/ Drakenstein Lion Park], which is basically a retirement home for lions. There are a few private game reserves within two to three hours drive of Stellenbosch (e.g., [http://www.sanbona.com/propertydefault.asp?MicroSiteID=3 Sanbona]), but they are not cheap. The closest National Parks with substantial wildlife are [http://www.sanparks.co.za/parks/mountain_zebra/ Mountain Zebra NP] and [http://www.sanparks.org/parks/addo/ Addo Elephant NP] (about 8-10hrs drive from Stellenbosch, but Addo is quite close to Port Elizabeth, which is one hour by plane from Cape Town). If you plan to visit [http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/ Krueger NP] you should probably fly with a stop-over in Johannesburg, and plan on at least four extra days.

=== Venue ===

The meeting will be held at the Wallenberg Center of the [http://stias.ac.za/ Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study ] ([https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-33.934957,18.873299&spn=0.005172,0.010568&t=m&z=17&layer=c&cbll=-33.935071,18.873269&panoid=JeUfsD7gZihdv1L5a3gYqw&cbp=12,91.15,,0,0.27&source=embed&output=svembed Streetview] [http://stias.ac.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/map.jpg Schematic map]). This is to the east of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellenbosch_University Stellenbosch University] Campus ([http://www.cs.sun.ac.za/lpar-19/logistics/map.pdf Campus map]). Most B&B's, hotels, and restaurants are within 10-15mins walk.

== Registration ==

Registration fees will be USD 250 / EUR 200 / GBP 160 / ZAR 2800. Registration is simply by adding your name to the attendance list below. There will be two payment options:

* Cash (ZAR) on the first day of the meeting. Note that there are plenty of ATMs in Stellenbosch.
* Bank transfer (USD / EUR / GBP). If you prefer bank transfer, mail me and I will mail you account information in the US, UK, or Germany.

The cost for the excursion will depend on the number of participants; I aim to keep it in a range of USD 70-100, including National Park entrance fees and food. Please register for the excursion by adding your name below.

On arrival, you will receive a single receipt on University letterhead. This will be issued for the currency you used for your payment. The registration fee covers all meals. (Note that STIAS doesn't serve breakfast before the meeting starts, but that should be covered by your B&B).

'''Ina Schaefer: Engineering Delta Modeling Languages'''

Delta modeling is a modular, yet flexible approach to capture spatial and temporal
variability by explicitly representing the differences between system variants or
versions. The conceptual idea of delta modeling is language-independent. But, in order to
apply delta modeling for a concrete language, so far, a delta language had
to be manually developed on top of the base language leading to a large variety of heterogeneous
language concepts. In this talk, I present a methodology that allows deriving a delta language
from the grammar of a given base language. Our approach relies on an
automatically generated language extension that can be manually adapted to meet
domain-specific needs. We illustrate our approach using delta modeling on Statecharts.

=IFIP Working Group 2.11, Twelfth Meeting=
==June 3-6, 2013, Minneapolis, USA==

===Venue and Travel===

The meeting will be held at University of Minnesota in USA, June 3-6, hosted by Eric Van Wyk. The meeting starts June 3rd in the morning, and ends with a lunch on June 6th. (Note that the meeting was earlier announced as being a day longer, but was reduced in length to be June 3-6.)

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Commons Hotel. This is a private hotel that sits next to campus and is closest to the meeting.
[https://gc.synxis.com/rez.aspx?Hotel=53931&Chain=11910&template=GCF&shell=GCF2&start=availresults&arrive=6/2/2013&depart=6/7/2013&adult=1&child=0&group=060213COMP Follow this link to make reservations for our block of rooms.] Kindly note that this is an external website (synxis.com). The actual web page of the hotel is [http://www.commonshotel.com/ http://www.commonshotel.com/].

Please book your room by '''April 2'''. That is the last date on which we can modify the number of reserved rooms in our contract. Once that happens there will be a few additional rooms that can be reserved in our block, but to be sure of getting a room it is best to book before April 2.

* '''NEW:''' If you want to come a day early or stay a day late (and why not, there are plenty of nice things to do in Minneapolis and the snow will be melted by then...) then you should be able to book those rooms now. If the reservation system does not give you the pre-tax rate of $124 then let me know. It only means that the few rooms that they allocated for those extra nights have been booked, but we can easily get more. I just need to call the hotel to make it happen. -Eric, March 28.

* Coming soon: detailed information about getting to the hotel from the airport.
