EASy-Producer is an open-source research toolset for engineering product lines, variability-rich software ecosystems, and dynamic software product lines. In this tutorial, we will introduce its (textual) variability modeling capabilities realized by the ...

This tutorial will teach participants about domain-specific languages and models, where they can best be used (and where not), and how to apply them effectively to improve the speed and quality of product development within a product line.

Microservices is an emerging industrial technique to promote better modularization and management of small and autonomous services. Microservice architecture is widely used to overcome the limitations of monolithic legacy systems, such as limited ...

Domain-Specific Modeling raises the level of abstraction beyond programming by specifying the solution directly with domain concepts. Within product lines domain-specific approaches are applied to specify variability and then generate final products ...

In the future, safety-critical industrial products will have to be maintained and variants will have to be produced. In order to do this economically, the safety artifacts of the components should also be reused. At present, however, it is still unclear ...

Feature models are core artifacts in software-product-line engineering to manage, maintain, and configure variability. Feature modeling can be a cross-cutting concern that integrates technical and business aspects of a software system. Consequently, for ...

The lack of mature tool support is one of the main reasons that make the industry to be reluctant to adopt Software Product Line (SPL) approaches. A number of systematic literature reviews exist that identify the main characteristics offered by existing ...

Model-Based Software Product Line (MBSPL) Engineering combines Model-Based Software Engineering (MBSE) and Software Product Line (SPL) Engineering by specifying variability in models and generating model variants as products of an MBSPL. Delta Modeling (...

Analyses of Software Product Lines (SPLs) rely on automated solvers to navigate complex dependencies among features and find legal configurations. Often these analyses do not support numerical features with constraints because propositional formulas use ...

The annotation-based variability of the C preprocessor (CPP) has a bad reputation regarding comprehensibility and maintainability of software systems, but is widely adopted in practice. To assess the complexity of such systems' variability, several ...
