Over more than two decades, numerous variability modeling techniques have been
introduced in academia and industry. However, little is known about the actual use of these …

Feature modeling is an important approach to capture the commonalities and variabilities in
system families and product lines. Cardinality‐based feature modeling integrates a number …

Variability modeling is important for managing variability in software product families,
especially during product derivation. In the past few years, several variability modeling …

Large software product lines need to manage complex variability. A common approach is
variability modeling—creating and maintaining models that abstract over the variabilities …

Increasingly, software needs to dynamically adapt its behavior at run-time in response to
changing conditions in the supporting computing infrastructure and in the surrounding …

Software product families have proven to be an effective approach to reuse in software
development. For planning requirements reuse, several variability approaches are …

Dynamic software product lines (DSPL) are software product lines (SPL) that support
runtime variability. Runtime variability is typically interpreted as binding variation points at …

PLM approaches are becoming a prominent approach in the Software Engineering and
Systems Engineering PL contexts. The idea behind PLM is to focus on artifacts that are …

During their usage, software systems have to be changed constantly. If such changes are
implemented in an incomplete or inconsistent way a loss of architectural quality will occur, ie …

An embedded system is a hybrid of hardware and software that combines software flexibility
and hardware real-time performance. The co-design of hardware and software is the most …
