Feature modules are the building blocks of programs in software product lines (SPLs). A foundational assumption of feature-based program synthesis is that features are composed in...
Hierarchical modularity is a familiar characteristic of a large class of natural dynamical systems. A normal interpretation of modularity is that interactions between subsystems a...
