Abstract. Reengineering a legacy product line has been addressed very little by current product line research activities. This paper introduces a method to investigate feature dependencies and interactions, which restricts the variants that can be derived from the legacy product line assets. Reorganizing the product line assets with respect to new requirements requires more knowledge than what is easily provided by the classical feature-modeling approaches. Hence, adding all the feature dependencies and interactions into the feature tree results in unreadable and unmanageable feature models that fail to achieve their original goals. We therefore propose two complementary views to represent the feature model. One view shows the hierarchical refinement of features similar to common featuremodeling approaches in a feature tree. The second view describes what kind of dependencies and interactions there are between various features. We show two examples of feature dependencies and interactions in the context of an engine-control software product line, and we demonstrate how our approach helps to define correct product configurations from product line variants.

“…CP-nets has a sound, mathematically wellfounded execution semantics, is well-proven, and has proper tool support. This includes support for creating animations of CPN models, which has been used in a number of projects, see, e.g., [76] for an alarm system, [64] for mobile phones, and [8] for ISDN services.…”

Abstract. Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPNs) and their supporting computer tools have been used in a wide range of application areas such as communication protocols, software designs, and embedded systems. The practical application of CP-nets has also covered many phases of system development ranging from requirements to design, validation, and implementation. This paper presents four case studies where CP-nets and their supporting computer tools have been used in system development projects with industrial partners. The case studies have been selected such that they illustrate different application areas of CP-nets in various phases of system development.

Feature interaction: the security threat from within software systems

Security engineering is about protecting assets from harm. The feature interaction problem occurs when the composition of features leads to undesirable system behaviours. Usually, this problem manifests itself as conflicting actions of features on a shared context. Security requirements may be violated by feature interactions creating security vulnerabilities which can potentially be exploited by attackers. In this paper, we discuss the feature interaction problem and some of its possible implications for security requirements. The paper concludes that (1) the detection of the violation of security requirements by feature interactions is not different from other types of requirements-what differs is the impact of such violation; and (2) feature interaction detection approaches can be used as a means for vulnerability analysis.
