Configurable software systems provide a multitude of configuration options to adjust and
optimize their functional and non-functional properties. For instance, to find the fastest …

Detecting and understanding reasons for defects and inadvertent behavior in software is
challenging due to their increasing complexity. In configurable software systems, the …

Artificial intelligence has gained considerable momentum in software engineering, but there
are major challenges that make this domain special. We review recent advances, raise …

Many modern software systems are highly configurable, allowing the user to tune them for
performance and more. Current performance modeling approaches aim at finding …

Feature flags for continuous deployment and configuration options for customizing software
share many similarities, both conceptually and technically. However, neither academic nor …

Many critical codebases are written in C, and most of them use preprocessor directives to
encode variability, effectively encoding software product lines. These preprocessor …

Software projects are complex technical and organizational systems involving large
numbers of artifacts and developers. To understand and tame software complexity, a wide …

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 …

As a software system evolves, its performance can improve or degrade over time.
Performance evolution is especially delicate in configurable software systems, where …

Software projects use build systems to automate the compilation, testing, and continuous
deployment of their software products. As software becomes increasingly configurable, the …
