Software Product Lines (SPLs) are a successful approach to software reuse in the large. Even though tools exist to create SPLs, their evolution is widely unexplored. Evolving an SPL manually is tedious and error-prone as it is hard to avoid unintended side-effects that may harm the consistency of the SPL. The main contribution of this paper is the conceptual basis of a system for the evolution of model-based SPLs, which maintains consistency of models and feature mapping. As further contribution, a novel classification is introduced that distinguishes evolutions by their potential to harm the mapping of an SPL. In addition, multiple remapping operators are presented that can remedy the negative side-effects of evolutions in order to co-evolve the feature mapping. Finally, an implementation of the evolution system in the SPL tool FeatureMapper is provided to demonstrate the capabilities of the presented approach when co-evolving models and feature mapping of an SPL.
