With modern requirements, there is an increasing tendency of considering multiple
objectives/criteria simultaneously in many Software Engineering (SE) scenarios. Such a …

Software Product Line (SPL) feature selection involves the optimization of multiple
objectives in a large and highly constrained search space. We introduce SATIBEA, that …

Software product lines are hard to configure. Techniques that work for medium sized product
lines fail for much larger product lines such as the Linux kernel with 6000+ features. This …

This paper presents a survey of work on Search Based Software Engineering (SBSE) for
Software Product Lines (SPLs). We have attempted to be comprehensive, in the sense that …

Product line engineering has become essential in mass customisation given its ability to
reduce production costs and time to market, and to improve product quality and customer …

In presence of multiple objectives to be optimized in Search-Based Software Engineering
(SBSE), Pareto search has been commonly adopted. It searches for a good approximation of …

A feature model specifies the sets of features that define valid products in a software product
line. Recent work has considered the problem of choosing optimal products from a feature …

Replication studies increase our confidence in previous results when the findings are similar
each time, and help mature our knowledge by addressing both internal and external validity …

A feature model (FM) is a compact representation of the information of all possible products
from software product lines. The optimal feature selection involves the simultaneous …

A key challenge to software product line engineering is to explore a huge space of various
products and to find optimal or near-optimal solutions that satisfy all predefined constraints …
