Software-product-line engineering has gained considerable momentum in recent years,
both in industry and in academia. A software product line is a family of software products that …

The idea for this book arose from a series of lectures on modern programming paradigms,
feature-oriented programming, and software product lines that are continuously held at the …

Almost every software system provides configuration options to tailor the system to the target
platform and application scenario. Often, this configurability renders the analysis of every …

The C preprocessor has received strong criticism in academia, among others regarding
separation of concerns, error proneness, and code obfuscation, but is widely used in …

The C preprocessor is used in many C projects to support variability and portability.
However, researchers and practitioners criticize the C preprocessor because of its negative …

In this paper, we develop a vision of software evolution based on a feature-oriented
perspective. From the fact that features provide a common ground to all stakeholders, we …

System software can be configured at compile time to tailor it with respect to a broad range
of supported hardware architectures and application domains. The Linux v3. 2 kernel, for …

Many critical codebases are written in C, and most of them use preprocessor directives to
encode variability, effectively encoding software product lines. These preprocessor …

Binary decision diagrams (BDD) have been proposed for numerous product-line analyses.
These analyses typically exploit properties unique to decision diagrams, such as negation in …

Variation is everywhere, and in the construction and analysis of customizable software it is
paramount. In this context, there arises a need for variational data structures for efficiently …
