Software-product-line engineering has gained considerable momentum in recent years,
both in industry and in academia. A software product line is a family of software products that …

We present the formal underpinnings of a modelling and analysis framework for the
specification and verification of variability in product families. We address variability at the …

Abstract A Featured Transition System (FTS) models the behaviour of all products of a
Software Product Line (SPL) in a single compact structure, by associating action-labelled …

This paper presents our approach to the quantitative modeling and analysis of highly (re)
configurable systems, such as software product lines. Different combinations of the optional …

Family-based model checking targets the simultaneous verification of multiple system
variants, a technique to handle feature-based variability that is intrinsic to software product …

The variability model checker VMC accepts a product family specified as a Modal Transition
System (MTS) with additional variability constraints. Consequently, it offers behavioral …

Abstract Modal Transition Systems (MTS) are a well-known formalism that extend Labelled
Transition Systems (LTS) with the possibility of specifying necessary and permitted …

We investigate the suitability of statistical model checking for the analysis of probabilistic
models of software product lines with complex quantitative constraints and advanced feature …

A Featured Transition System (FTS) is a formal behavioural model for software product lines,
which represents the behaviour of all the products of an SPL in a single compact structure by …

In order to provide a rigorous foundation for Software Product Lines (SPLs), several
fundamental approaches have been proposed to their formal behavioral modeling. In this …
