Paper Capturing Timeline Variability
Merijn
%RED% This paper is available in [[%PAPERHOME%/ICSEVariabilityWorkshop.ps][ps]] and [[%PAPERHOME%/ICSEVariabilityWorkshop.pdf][pdf]]. %ENDCOLOR% ---++ 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. ---++ <nop>BibTeX entry <pre> %INCLUDE{%PAPERHOME%/CapturingTimelineVariability.bib}% </pre> CategoryPapers -- Main.MerijnDeJonge - 06 Apr 2003
