Abstract Context Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising paradigm due to the growing number
of devices that may be connected, defined as “things”. Managing these “things” is still …

Context: Software engineering for ubiquitous systems has experienced an important and
rapid growth, however the vast research corpus makes it difficult to obtain valuable …

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 …

We introduce the beat spectrum, a new method of automatically characterizing the rhythm
and tempo of music and audio. The beat spectrum is a measure of acoustic self-similarity as …

Variant-rich software systems offer a large degree of customization, allowing users to
configure the target system according to their preferences and needs. Facing high degrees …

Application-level multi-tenancy is an architectural approach for Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) applications which enables high operational cost efficiency by sharing one …

Runtime adaptive systems are able to dynamically transform their internal structure, and
hence their behavior, in response to internal or external changes. Such transformations …

The feature-interaction problem is a major threat to modularity and impairs compositional
development and reasoning. A feature interaction occurs when the behavior of one feature …

Abstract Service contracts characterise the desired behavioural compliance of a composition
of services. Compliance is typically defined by the fulfilment of all service requests through …

Modeling the reasoning component of self-adapting systems including its context is a
challenging task. Context feature models used in dynamic software product lines help to …
