The variability of a product line is typically defined in models. However, many existing
variability modeling approaches are rigid and don't allow sufficient domain-specific …

Since software systems need to be continuously available under varying conditions, their
ability to evolve at runtime is increasingly seen as one key issue. Modern programming …

Constructing and executing distributed systems that can adapt to their operating context in
order to sustain provided services and the service qualities are complex tasks. Managing …

In this paper we propose an approach to support the design and operation of dynamically
adaptive systems. We apply the concept of variability modeling from software product lines …

Context In industrial settings products are developed by more than one organization.
Software vendors and suppliers commonly typically maintain their own product lines, which …

Runtime adaptive systems are able to dynamically transform their internal structure, and
hence their behavior, in response to internal or external changes. Such transformations …

In one embodiment, a method for integrating a service into an application is provided. The
method determines an applica tion extensibility description for an application. The applica …

Dynamic Software Product Lines (DSPL) have gained significant attention in academic
community by involving aspects of product lines and runtime adaptable systems …

Recently, there have been increasing demands for the postponement of decisions on
software adaptations and product variations to provide the flexibility required by dynamic …

Developers of software engineering tools are facing high expectations regarding capabilities
and usability. Users expect tools tailored to their specific needs and integrated in their …
