In Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE), a portfolio of similar systems is developed from a shared set of software assets. Claimed benefits of SPLE include reductions in the portfolio size, cost of software development and time to production, as well as improvements in the quality of the delivered systems. Yet, despite these benefits, SPLE is still in the early adoption stage. We believe that automated approaches, tools and techniques that provide better support for SPLE activities can further facilitate its adoption in practice and increase its benefits.
To promote work in this area, the FMSPLE'16 workshop focuses on automated analysis and formal methods, which can (1) lead to a further increase in development productivity and reduction in maintenance costs associated with management of the SPLE artifacts, and (2) provide proven guarantees for the correctness and quality of the delivered systems.

Over the past decades automated debugging has seen major achievements. However, as debugging is by necessity attached to particular programming paradigms, the results are scattered. To alleviate this problem, the Automated and Algorithmic Debugging workshop (AADEBUG for short) was organised in 1993 in Link"oping (Sweden). As this workshop proved to be successful, subsequent workshops have been organised in 1995 (Saint-Malo, France), 1997 (again in Link"oping, Sweden) and 2000 (Munich, Germany). In 2003, the workshop is organised in Ghent, Belgium, the proceedings of which you are reading right…
