The feature model formalism has become the de facto standard for managing variability in
software product lines (SPLs). In practice, developing an SPL can involve modeling a large …

Context The integration of feature models has been widely investigated in the last decades,
given its pivotal role for supporting the evolution of software product lines. Unfortunately …

Feature models have been used since the 90s to describe software product lines as a way of
reusing common parts in a family of software systems. In 2010, a systematic literature review …

Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPSs) are complex systems comprised of software
and hardware interacting with each other and the environment. In industry, over time, a …

Modeling variability in the context of software product‐lines has been around for about 25
years in the research community. It started with Feature Modeling and soon enough was …

Cloud-based applications are multi-tenant aware, whereas customers (ie, tenants) share
hardware and software resources. Offering highly configurable applications to thousands of …

Feature Models (FMs) are a popular formalism for modelling and reasoning about
commonality and variability of a system. In essence, FMs aim to define a set of valid …

Variability management is a key issue when building and evolving software-intensive
systems, making it possible to extend, configure, customize and adapt such systems to …

Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPSs) are complex systems interacting with their
environment by sensors and actuators. Such systems typically have a long lifespan, over …

Among model comprehension tools, model slicers are tools that extract a subset of model
elements, for a specific purpose. Model slicers provide a mechanism to isolate and focus on …
