Managing variability in configurable systems remains a challenging endeavor for multiple reasons. First, variability must be properly defined using domain knowledge and reusable software artifacts, often relying on extraction and refinement of legacy assets. Second, variability must be maintained during evolution in time (revisions) and space (variants). Recent research activities have focused on enabling the integrated management of evolution and variability. Existing approaches stem from multiple origins, notably software configuration management and product line engineering. The 1st International Workshop on Reverse Variability Engineering and Evolution of Software-Intensive Systems joins the motivation originating from REVE and VariVolution. It shall bring together active researchers eliciting software variability and studying its evolution, and practitioners who encounter these phenomena in the real-world. Re:Volution offers a platform to exchange ideas, case studies, and tools, fostering research collaborations and synergies.
