Researchers are often inspired by ingenious problem solving strategies of nature. This paper is motivated by the seemingly infinite expressive power of genes (in terms of variability). To bring in the flexibility required for dealing with variable requirements and volatile assumptions in software engineering, we consider genetic variability to be a role model for software variability management. We...
Backtracking is necessary when design alternatives are explored or dead ends are reached. Unfortunately, current approaches support chronological backtracking only (undo or version control), where the designer is forced to undo intermittent changes even if they are not related to what should be backtracked. This work introduces an approach for selective backtracking during software modeling where...
This demonstration presents an approach that facilitates variability implementation, management, and tracing from architectural modeling to implementation. A tool suite is provided that integrates aspect-oriented and model-driven software development into product line engineering.
Software product line engineering aims to reduce development time, effort, cost, and complexity by taking advantage of the commonality within a portfolio of similar products. The effectiveness of a software product line approach directly depends on how well feature variability within the portfolio is implemented and managed throughout the development lifecycle, from early analysis through maintenance...
This paper explains the challenges we experienced when introducing a software product family approach in Siemens business groups. Our vision is a complete and easily accessible cookbook with advice on how to start such an approach. In a first attempt, we identified a collection of more or less successful best practices. On the suggestions and the open questions we are going to present in this paper,...
