expose highly variable systems with colossal configuration spaces. The automated analysis …

The colossal solution spaces of most configurable systems make intractable their exhaustive
exploration. Accordingly, relevant analyses remain open research problems. There exist …

Feature modeling is the" de facto" standard to describe the common and variant parts of
software product lines. Different tools, approaches, and operations for the automated …

A feature is an increment in product functionality. Features are commonly used to specify
and distinguish products in product lines [8]. They communicate product functions in an easy …

A software product line is an engineering approach to efficient development of software
product portfolios. Key to the success of the approach is to identify the common and variable …

Feature modeling has emerged as the de-facto standard to compactly capture the variability
of a software product line. Multiple feature modeling languages have been proposed that …

Feature modeling is a method to compactly capture commonality and variability of a software
product line. Multiple feature modeling languages have been proposed that evolved over …

Feature models have been used since the 90s to describe software product lines as a way of
reusing common parts in a family of software systems. In 2010, a systematic literature review …

Feature models are arguably one of the most intuitive and successful notations for modeling
the features of a variant-rich software system. Feature models help developers to keep an …

Recognizing specific characteristics of feature models (FM) can be challenging due to the
different nature and domains of the models. There are several metrics to characterize FMs …
