In factory automation, production line scheduling entails a number of competing issues. Finding optimal configurations often requires use of local search techniques. Local search l...
Abstract. The use of Feature Models (FMs) to define the valid combinations of features in Software Product Lines (SPL) is becoming commonplace. To enhance the scalability of FMs, ...

Abstract--For two decades, feature diagrams have been intensively studied as a means to specify variability and pilot configuration in software product line engineering. Surprising...
This paper introduces an extractive approach to building-up a product line based on existing systems. Thereby, we focus on the analysis of common functionalities across different ...
