In Software product line engineering (SPLE), feature diagrams (FDs) capture commonality and variability in terms of features and their relationships. The interactive process during which features are selected and excluded is called feature-based ...

In this paper, we describe EASy-Producer, a prototypical tool for complex and large-scale Software Product Line (SPL) development. The tool enables SPL engineers to reduce complexity by combining derivation and composition techniques to manage one large ...

A software product line is a strategic investment for an organization. Besides the initial decision to use a product line approach other strategic decisions are made, including which variations to accommodate. In this paper we present an adaptation of ...

The transition from a software product line to a software ecosystem, as reported by Bosch [5], takes place, when the product line company makes its platform available to developers outside the company. A similar transition takes place from a software ...

Many of the benefits expected from Software Product Lines (SPLs) are based on the assumption that the additional investment in setting up a product line pays off later when products are created. However, to fully exploit this assumption, organizations ...

We describe ongoing work in knowledge evolution management for autonomic software product lines. We explore how an autonomic product line may benefit from new knowledge originating from different source activities and artifacts at run time. The ...

This paper describes a dynamic software adaptation approach and environment for service-oriented product lines. The approach uses a dynamic feature model and product line architecture for a family of service-oriented architectures (SOA), in which a ...

Feature selections mining is the process of discovering potentially feature associations and constraints in data. Especially, mining from time-series data obtains feature constraint trends. In this paper, we describe an approach to evaluate feature ...

Product configuration in a feature model in software product line engineering is a process, in which the desired features are selected based on the customers' functional requirements and non-functional requirements. The functional requirements of the ...

Software Product Line Engineering is inherently complex. This complexity increases further if multiple product line infrastructures are composed to yield the final products, an approach sometimes referred to as Multi Software Product Lines (MSPL). In ...

Product line development of communication system firmware with more than 2,000 features was performed in a large-scale project that involved more than 300 engineers (at a maximum) across four distributed sites. However, since intense demands to reduce ...

Quality assurance and evaluation in Model Driven Software Product Lines (MD-SPLs) are pivotal points for the growing and solidification of the generative software factories. They are framed as one of the future fact methodologies for the construction of ...

In-car infotainment systems must allow for product differentiation and the adaption to the needs of different markets. Product line approaches are applied because large numbers of different product variants need to be developed simultaneously. During ...
