The goal of this tutorial is to give an introduction to how machine learning can be used to support activities related to the engineering of configurable systems and software product lines. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first practical ...

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 paper describes a tutorial to introduce a product line engineering solution, including tools and methods, that is the subject of an upcoming ISO standard and known as "Feature-Based Systems and Software Product Line Engineering." This tutorial will ...

MATLAB/Simulink models are widely used in industry to model and simulate complex systems in several domains (e.g., automotive). These complex systems are produced in mass, and often, clients demand different functionalities. As a result, the variability ...

This half-day tutorial presents a method to tackle the issue of evaluating a plethora of embedded system design-alternatives against functional and non-functional requirements. Our method results from a joint research project between three universities ...

This tutorial explores the impact of the socio-economic trends of mass customization on software reuse through software product line development.

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.

Context: Verification techniques such as model checking are being applied to ensure that software systems achieve desired quality levels and fulfill their functional and non-functional specification. However, applying these techniques to software ...

Software Product Lines (SPLs) are families of products that share some common features, and differ on some others. The variability of SPLs is usually described at design time by using variability models; one of the main used variability models are ...

A software product line comprises a set of products that share a common code base, but vary in specific characteristics called features. Ideally, features of a product line are developed in isolation and composed subsequently. Product lines are ...

Feature models have been used since the 90's to describe software product lines as a way of reusing common parts in a family of software systems. In 2010, a systematic literature review was published summarizing the advances and settling the basis of ...

In this extended abstract, we describe the Journal First summary of our article with the same title published in the Journal of Software: Testing, Verification and Reliability (STVR) [1].

Multi-tenant Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications share a single runtime instance among multiple customer organizations (tenants). To account for differences in tenant requirements, they have to support run-time customization. The latter turns ...

Software-intensive systems belonging to a product line (PL) often have their shared architecture design available before they are developed. Therefore, the PL often has a large number of reusable and configurable requirements, which are naturally ...

Testing Software Product Lines (SPLs) is a challenging approach due to the huge number of products under test. Most of the SPL testing approaches have proposed novel ideas to make verification and validation activities cost-effective. However, after ...

This summary refers to the paper Metrics for analyzing variability and its implementation in software product lines: A systematic literature review¹. It was online first in 2018 and was finally published 2019 in the Information and Software Technology (...

Most of today's software systems evolve continuously and need to exist in various variants to address different requirements. However, changes resulting from evolution in time (i.e., revisions) and changes resulting from evolution in space (i.e., ...

The Workshop on Experiences and Empirical Studies on Software Reuse (WEESR) aims, on the one hand, to allow researchers and practitioners discuss in-progress research regarding experiences and empirical studies on applying reuse techniques in non-...

Feature models were invented in 1990 and have been recognised as one of the main contributions to the software product line community. Although there have been several attempts to establish a sort of standard variability modelling language, there is ...

Education has a key role to play for disseminating the constantly growing body of Software Product Line (SPL) knowledge. In a sense, every researcher in SPL should think about how to teach SPL. This workshop aims to explore and explain the current ...
