Self‐adaptive service‐oriented Applications (Self‐Apps) must be able to understand
themselves or the environment in which they are executed, and propose solutions to meet …

In an industrial project, we addressed the challenge of developing a software-based video
generator such that consumers and providers of video processing algorithms can …

Abstract Service robots become increasingly capable and deliver a broader spectrum of
services which all require a wide range of perceptual capabilities. These capabilities must …

Background Feature modeling has been widely used in domain engineering for the
development and configuration of software product lines. A feature model represents the set …

Feature modeling has been widely used in domain engineering for the development and
configuration of software products. A feature model represents the set of possible …

Feature models are widely used to capture variability, commonalities and configuration rules
of software systems. We apply this technique to model component-based systems with many …

To perform a wide range of tasks service robots need to robustly extract knowledge about
the world from the data perceived through the robot's sensors even in the presence of …

We relate an original experience concerning a popular online video service that offers to
generate variants of an humorous video. To further the understanding of the generator, we …

This paper reports about a new domain-specific variability modeling language, called VM,
resulting from the close collaboration with industrial partners in the video domain. We …

Technological improvements of the Internet and connected devices cause increased user
expectations. People want to be offered different services in nearly every aspect of their …
