Co** with evolution in automated production systems implies a cross-disciplinary
challenge along the system's life-cycle for variant-rich systems of high complexity. The …

Diversity is prevalent in modern software systems to facilitate adapting the software to
customer requirements or the execution environment. Diversity has an impact on all phases …

The idea for this book arose from a series of lectures on modern programming paradigms,
feature-oriented programming, and software product lines that are continuously held at the …

Variability modeling is essential for defining and managing the commonalities and
variabilities in software product lines. Numerous variability modeling approaches exist today …

The notion of features is commonly used to describe the functional and non-functional
characteristics of a system. In software product line engineering, features often become the …

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 …

Feature models have been used since the 90s to describe software product lines as a way of
reusing common parts in a family of software systems. In 2010, a systematic literature review …

Abstract Version control systems are an integral part of today's software engineering. They
facilitate the collaborative management of revisions (sequential versions) and variants …

Early experiments with software diversity in the mid 1970s investigated N-version
programming and recovery blocks to increase the reliability of embedded systems. Four …

A large number of variability modeling approaches have been developed including feature
modeling, decision modeling, and Orthogonal Variability Modeling (OVM). Multiple variants …
