Abstract

Configuration of feature models in software product-lines typically involves manipulating a model to modify the feature selections and analyzing the model to ensure that no configuration constraints are violated. In order to capture and reuse configuration knowledge from different users, model transformation and constraint languages can be used to specify and automate the constraint checking and model manipulation processes. However, this approach presents challenges to general end-users (e.g., domain experts who may not be programmers) who do not have experience using these languages. This paper presents a demonstration-based technique to support the capture and reuse of feature model configurations.
