Software product lines (SPLs) and software ecosystems (SECOs) represent families of
closely related software systems in terms of configurable variable assets. Delta modeling is …

The difficulty of managing variations and their potential interactions across an entire product
line currently hinders safety analysis in safety-critical, software product lines. The work …

Too often, systems are designed and then an attempt is made to add safety features or to
prove that the design is safe after the fact. Safety has to be designed into a system from the …

Today's product development creates multiple products over time, often by using reuse
strategies like" Clone and Own", leading to very inefficient reuse of artifacts in the long term …

Since applications often need to be deployed in different variants, deployment technologies,
such as Ansible and Terraform, support modeling variability. Unfortunately, applications …

Companies are increasingly adopting a product-line approach to the development of safety-
critical systems. A product line offers large-scale reuse by exploiting common features and …

Industry currently employs a product line approach to software development and
deployment as a means to enhance quality while reducing development cost and time. This …

Decomposition is used to manage system complexity, but is problematic for emergent
properties such as system safety. Previously, we introduced Indirect Control Path Analysis …

As product-line engineering becomes more widespread, more safety-critical software
product lines are being built. This paper describes a structured method for performing safety …

Abstract Software Product Lines (SPLs) enable and maximize reuse of software artefacts,
using software variability as central technique. In Model-Based Safety Analysis, system and …
