Abstract

Many variability modeling approaches consider only formalized dependencies, i.e. in- or exclude relations between variants. However, in real industrial product families, dependencies are often much more complicated. In this paper, we discuss the product derivation problems associated with dependencies, and show how our variability modeling framework COVAMOF addresses these issues. Throughout the paper, we use examples of Intrada, an intelligent traffic systems family of Dacolian B.V.
