Feature Modeling for Context-Aware Software Product Lines.

Abstract

One of the first activities to develop a software product line is the feature analysis. This activity produces a feature model to represent commonalities and variabilities among products of a product line. Contextaware applications use context information to provide services and relevant information for their users. One of the challenges to build a context-aware product line is how to represent context information in a feature model. This paper proposes a modeling notation, called UbiFEX, for representing context information and defining context adaptive rules in a feature model.
