Feature-oriented software development a short tutorial on feature-oriented programming, virtual separation of concerns, and variability-aware analysis

Abstract

Feature-oriented software development is a paradigm for the construction, customization, and synthesis of large-scale and variable software systems, focusing on structure, reuse and variation. In this tutorial, we provide a gentle introduction to software product lines, feature oriented programming, virtual separation of concerns, and variability aware analysis. We provide an overview, show connections between the different lines of research, and highlight possible future research directions. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
