Software product line engineering has proven to empower organizations to develop a
diversity of similar software-intensive systems (applications) at lower cost, in shorter time …

The full behavior of complex software systems often only emerges during operation. They
thus need to be monitored at run time to check that they adhere to their requirements …

Creativity is considered to have a significant impact on the design process and its outcomes,
while aesthetics and functionality are considered key characteristics of products. A …

Variability models represent the common and variable features of products in a product line.
Since the introduction of FODA in 1990, several variability modeling languages have been …

Modern software often exposes configuration options that enable users to customize its
behavior. During software evolution, developers may change how the configuration options …

Adaptive and flexible production systems require modular and reusable software especially
considering their long-term life cycle of up to 50 years. SWMAT4aPS, an approach to …

Abstract Software-intensive Cyber-Physical Production Systems (SiCPPS), like metallurgical
plants or manufacturing plants, are highly variable systems of systems that frequently evolve …

Many software-intensive systems today can be characterized as systems of systems (SoS)
comprising complex, interrelated, and heterogeneous systems. The behavior of SoS often …

Software companies commonly develop and maintain variants of systems, with different
feature combinations for different customers. Thus, they must cope with variability in space …

Memory analysis tools are essential for finding and fixing anomalies in the memory usage of
software systems (eg, memory leaks). Although numerous tools are available, hardly any …
