Abstract:
Software Product Lines (SPL) take economic advantage of commonality and variability among a set of software systems that exist within a specific domain. Therefore, Software Product Line Engineering defines a series of processes for the development of a SPL that consider commonality and variability during the software life cycle. Variability modeling is therefore an essential activity in a Software Product Line Engineering approach. There are several techniques for variability modeling nowadays. COVAMOF stands out among them since it allows the modeling of variation points, variants and dependencies as first class elements. COVAMOF, therefore, provides an uniform manner for representing such concepts in different levels of abstraction within a SPL. In order to take advantage of COVAMOF benefits, it is necessary to have a computer aided tool, otherwise variability modeling and management canbe a hard tasks for the software engineer. This paper presents the development of a Eclipse plug-in for COVAMOF.

Abstract:
Abstract Recent work suggests that the prefrontal cortex is recruited during complex walking as a form of cognitive compensation to maintain performance in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence from fNIRS studies is accumulating on different patient groups demonstrating the utility of this method and its sensitivity to neural dysfunction. However a direct comparison that explores the specificity of prefrontal activation patterns has not been conducted. This process is essential towards implementing the use of fNIRS at the individual level. Data collected from four different cohorts; young adults, older adults, PD patients at different stages of the disease, and patients with Multiple-Sclerosis during challenging tasks will be presented. Overlap, commonality, disparity and variability between groups and conditions will be presented and modifiers and moderators that can affect individual performance will be discussed. Understanding individual differences in fNIRS response will enhance data interpretation and promote translation of this technology to clinical care applications.

Abstract:

This paper is based on the XAP system (eXtended Application Provisioning) and serves for the modeling of application family. The importance of modeling application family is increasing rapidly. To improve a mechanism to express the structure, properties of concepts, features and implementations within an application family becomes necessary and important. Feature tree is a well accepted means for the product line. We can use and improve it to suit our requirements in the following way

In the degree project, we create a tool to model application family with reusability, commonality and variability. The hierarchy, feature properties and dependencies are graphically represented.

Abstract:
The number and complexity of the systems realizing the functionality of the machines in the automotive domain are growing. In this arises the need for a systematic way to manage their development. As the technologies advance, the vehicles introduce an increasing range of capabilities. However, they have similar functions, which have the potential to be reused. One of the widely used approaches that manages the commonality and variability of the development artifacts in a systematic manner is Product Line Engineering (PLE). Consequently, PLE reduces the time to market and the development cost. The machines, realized in the automotive domain, interact with their operators and the surrounding environment. Possible malfunctions of the machines may introduce a risk of accidents with fatal consequences. Therefore, the products should be analyzed, developed and managed in a safe manner and certified according to different relevant safety standards like ISO 15998, ISO 61508 and ISO 26262. There is a diversity of functions in a Product Line (PL). Some of them are mandatory for all machines and others are optional for some models. This gives the opportunity to combine the functions in multiple configurations. However, not all combinations are possible due to dependencies among the functions. Furthermore, the configurations should be valid from a safety perspective, and the developed products should satisfy the requirements identified during the safety analysis. The above mentioned factors emphasize the need for explicit representation of the systems' characteristics, such as commonality and variability, functional dependencies and quality attributes. The purpose of the current work is to find an efficient way to satisfy this need. The scope of our research is limited to the automotive domain. In order to gain familiarity with the state of practice, we collaborated with Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) as an industrial partner. In particular, we: conducted an informal interview study with the practitioners, analyzed the requirements management tool used in Volvo CE and studied products typical for the domain in detail, examined the deliverables defined in the related domain specific safety standards. We gained knowledge on how variability is managed in an industrial context today, which safety aspects need to be considered and how functional safety artifacts are managed with regards to variability. We synthesized the characteristics that are explicitly represented during the development and safety certification of the products in a safety-critical product line. We identified the challenges that the practitioners meet today and the areas that need to be improved. As a result, we formulated evaluation criteria for search and assessment of possible solutions. Subsequently we searched in the literature for different modeling techniques, that are able to respond to the industrial needs, and found the following to be relevant in our context: Feature modeling techniques consider the different variability types and dependencies among the features. Model-based development techniques can represent different views of the system on each level of the development process. Orthogonal modeling techniques extract the variability and dependencies in a different view. Furthermore, we evaluated the methods found during the literature study, based on the proposed criteria. We concluded that the examined techniques alone cannot represent all characteristics needed to support the development of a safety-critical product line, especially the impact of the variability on the safety and vice versa. However, each of them focuses on the presentation of certain aspect of the product line, which can help in building a more complete representation. Thus we focused on the approaches that may be extended and integrated into a complete solution. As a result, we propose a model and graphical notation for variability management in safety-critical product lines, which takes the identified industrial needs into account. The concept is depicted graphically by several model-based diagrams, which represent the different aspects of the product line, on each development level. Special attention is paid to the representation of the safety and variability aspects of the systems. The method is exemplified on an industrial example, in order to show how it achieves the defined goals.

Abstract:
This Master thesis proposes a solution to manage variabilities of software product line applications. The objective of the research is to support software decision makers in handling additional software complexity introduced by product line architectures. In order to fulfill this objective an approach to analyze, visualize, and measure product line specific characteristics of the C/C++ source code are proposed. The approach is validated in an empirical experiment using an open source software system. For that purpose the approach is first implemented into ®1 M-System-NT, an existing software measurement tool developed at Fraunhofer. The target hypothesis of the Institute for Experimental Software engineering research master thesis to perform static analysis of C/C++ source code, measure traditional and product line measures to identify the correlation between measures and indicate the fault proneness.

Abstract:
This chapter ties varied strands of the book together by first considering how the theoretical framework can be used to address the complexities of human action identified in Chapter 1 (i.e., holism, dynamics, variability, multicausality, and individuality). The chapter also offers guidelines for using the theoretical framework to think systematically about what people do in varied circumstances. The book ends by considering the complex and empathic image of and vision for humanity that the theoretical framework reflects and hopefully promotes and promulgates. In doing so, the chapter raises varied issues regarding diversity and commonality, as well as openness to change.

Abstract:
Multicontextual exampling implies a comparative perspective. Yet while comparativists conventionally emphasize cross-contextual variability, generic sociologists try to reveal cross-contextual commonality. Given its transcontextual agenda, it is the quest to uncover formal “parallels” between substantively disparate phenomena that characterizes generic sociology. In sharp contrast to sociologists’ conventional tendency to highlight differences between substantively disparate situations, it regards the latter as but various manifestations of the same transcontextual pattern. While diversifying the contexts in which they collect their data, generic sociologists thus try to identify common formal patterns across substantively diverse contexts. This chapter examines the mental process by which we uncover formal “parallels” across seemingly disparate contexts, namely analogizing. When analogizing, one disregards conventionally noted substantive differences in order to notice conventionally disregarded formal equivalences. The chapter features the four main types of cross-contextual analogies (cross-cultural, cross-historical, cross-domain, and cross-level) generic sociologists use in their analyses.

Abstract:
The goal of this volume is to generate discussion on the variability in burial practices in Greece during the Late Bronze Age (LBA) and to create a more nuanced understanding of the society by bringing together a group of scholars who are either excavating newly discovered tombs or reexamining older excavations of LBA tombs. The data from these recent excavations and renewed studies suggest that the patterns of burial may contain more variety than has been recognized in earlier scholarship, and indicate the need for a detailed comparison of these burial practices combined with a synthetic comparative study of the tombs. Attention to variations in the mortuary practices can enrich current understanding of the range of connections between tombs and their respective communities, adding nuance to accepted interpretations of the LBA mortuary customs and their related societies. With variability in local burial practices as their initial commonality, broader themes and topics were revealed in the chapters assembled in this volume, including the rich connection between tombs and the political economy; their role in power and identity creation; the differences between palaces and second-order sites; the changing focus and identity of the various communities throughout the LBA; the combination of older more traditional practices with new ones in the tombs; social differences between genders; and varied emphasis on family lines.

Abstract:
In this paper we describe a product dissection activity that has been developed for a graduate course on product family design to improve students’ understanding of platform commonality. Last spring, the product dissection activity served a second purpose, namely, it provided an opportunity to engage students in product family design research in the classroom by having them participate in a study to evaluate the variability in the Product Line Commonality Index (PCI), a commonality index from the literature. The product dissection activity consisted of five teams dissecting and analyzing three different families of products, each containing four products. Based on their results, we identified three main sources of the variability that occur during the dissection of the products and calculation of the PCI: different levels of dissection, parts omitted from the analysis, and different values for the factors used to compute the PCI. Recommendations for reducing the variability are given based on our findings. Finally, an assessment of the students’ learning reveals that the activity significantly improved their understanding of platform commonality.
