A Framework for Quantitative Modeling and Analysis of Highly (Re)configurable Systems

“…prefix can be used only for -> relations, since all child features of -OR-> and -XOR-> relations are by definition optional. Indeed, this is exactly as in FeatureIDE [36], [37], one of the most widely used tools for the modeling and analysis of classical feature models (i.e. devoid of numeric attributes and the likes).…”

An evolutionary process for product-driven updates of feature models

“…The process 5 is developed in Java and uses JavaBDD for BDD manipulation. To represent and mutate feature models we use Fea-tureIDE [14], and as evolutionary framework we use Watchmaker 6 .…”

A BDD for Linux?

“…That is, not every commit of Linux is considered, but only those that actually alter the KConfig model. The models have been translated into several formats using KConfigReader [49] and the FeatureIDE library [53,59] and are available in an online repository. 1 Nevertheless, the benchmark has two disadvantages.…”
