A new Software Engineering Research Group event has been scheduled:
Feature Interactions in Product-Line Requirements
In feature-oriented software development, a software product line
(SPL) is developed as a set of features, and members (products) of the
SPL are formed by composing valid selections of features. In this
approach, developers need to think and reason about feature
combinations -- if only to determine which combinations are valid: it
may be that two features try to simultaneously perform incompatable
actions, or that one feature prohibits behaviours of another feature.
Such behaviours that arise in feature combinations but not in
individual features are called feature interactions. Feature
interactions have been studied for years, and various taxonomies of
the different types of feature interactions have been proposed. In
this seminar, we will present our progress in adapting applicable
taxonomies of feature interactions to the feature-oriented
requirements modelling language (FORML): a language that supports
feature modularity in modelling the behavioural requirements of a
SPL.
