---++ Abstract
Virtually every non-trivial software system exhibits _variability_: the property that the set of 
_features_ --characteristics of the system that are relevant to some
stakeholder-- can be changed at certain points in the system's
deployment life-cycle.  Some features can be bound only at specific
moments in the life-cycle, while some can be bound at _several_
distinct moments (_timeline variability_).  This leads to
inconsistent configuration interfaces; variability decisions are
generally made through different interfaces depending on the moment in
the life-cycle.  In this paper we propose to formalize variability
into a feature model that takes timeline issues into account and to
derive from such feature models configuration interfaces that abstract
over the life-cycle.
