Today's software systems must accommodate a wide range of usage and deployment scenarios. The increasing size and heterogeneity of software-intensive systems, dynamic and critical operating conditions, fast moving and highly competitive markets, and increasingly powerful and versatile hardware makes it more and more difficult to handle the additional complexity in design caused by variability. This paper reports results of the Second International Workshop on Variability and Complexity in Software Design. It also outlines directions the field might move in the future.
