Abstract

During the development of embedded software, the system context (mechanical, electronical, business, etc.) has to be considered. Typically, this context is diverse and highly complex. Moreover, the context in which the system is embedded can vary. For example, the system can be used in different technical environments or in different countries. This variability in the context influences the software to be developed and typically leads to system variability. This paper systematically analyses the impact of context variability on the system development, more precisely, on the variability of the system. Related work is discussed and an example from the automotive domain is presented to identify open issues that need to be addressed.
