CONTEXT: Variability management (VM) is one of the most important activities of software
product-line engineering (SPLE), which intends to develop software-intensive systems using …

We present a novel bottom-up saliency detection algorithm. Our method computes so-called
local regression kernels (ie, local features) from the given image, which measure the …

This paper presents SMarty, a variability management approach for UML-based software
product lines (PL). SMarty is supported by a UML profile, the SMartyProfile, and a process …

Modeling variability in the context of software product‐lines has been around for about 25
years in the research community. It started with Feature Modeling and soon enough was …

Industrial plants are operated a long period of time. Hence, evolution of these plants is
necessary to cope with technological developments or market requests. However, evolution …

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Model-driven engineering (MDE) is
the automatic production of software from simplified models of structure and functionality. It …

A software product line to support urban transport systems is briefly described and the
design of two of its features is discussed. Different solutions based on components are …

In the context of Model-Based Testing (MBT) of product lines, effort required to develop
models can be significantly reduced by applying systematic product line modeling and …

Self-driving vehicles for commercial use cases like logistics or overcast mines increase their
owners' economic competitiveness. Volvo maintains, evolves, and distributes a vehicle …

Abstract Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) deals with develo** artifacts that
capture the common and variable aspects of software product families. Domain models are …
