Customization is a general trend in software engineering, demanding systems that support
variable stakeholder requirements. Two opposing strategies are commonly used to create …

Software companies commonly develop and maintain variants of systems, with different
feature combinations for different customers. Thus, they must cope with variability in space …

Tracing requirements to their implementation is crucial to all stakeholders of a software
development process. When managing software variability, requirements are typically …

Dealing with large configuration spaces is a complex task for developers, especially when
manually searching for the configuration that best suits both their functional and …

Abstract Software Product Lines (SPLs) are rarely developed from scratch. Commonly, they
emerge from one product when there is a need to create tailored variants, or from existing …

Many large software systems are variability-rich, object-oriented, and implemented in a
single code base. They then rely on multiple traditional techniques (inheritance, patterns) to …

Developing software-intensive embedded systems is a significant challenge as embedded
systems have become more complex and dynamic for integrating various constraints (eg …

Feature localization (FL) is a basic activity in re-engineering legacy systems into software
product lines. In this work, we explore the use of the Spectrum-based localization technique …

In large code bases, locating the elements that implement concrete features of a system is
challenging. This information is paramount for maintenance and evolution tasks, although …

Software companies need to provide a large set of features satisfying functional and non-
functional requirements of diverse customers, thereby leading to variability in space. Feature …
