Abstract

Compositional and annotative approaches are two competing yet complementary candidates for implementing feature-oriented software product lines. While the former provides real modularity, the latter excels concerning expressiveness. To combine the respective advantages of compositional and annotative approaches, we aim at unifying their underlying representations by leveraging the snippet system instead of directories and files. In addition, to exploit this unification, we propose different editable views.

Granularity in software product lines
ICSE '08: Proceedings of the 30th international conference on Software engineering

Building software product lines (SPLs) with features is a challenging task. Many SPL implementations support features with coarse granularity - e.g., the ability to add and wrap entire methods. However, fine-grained extensions, like adding a statement ...

VaMoS '12: Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Variability Modeling of Software-Intensive Systems

In Software Product Line (SPL) engineering, similar software products are developed in families rather than individually. Developing similar software at once leads to new challenges. In particular, the model checking problem for SPL is harder because it ...
