Variant Management and Reuse

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Model-Based Engineering of Embedded Systems

Abstract

Variability management and reuse are important concerns in the development of variant-rich software-intensive systems. In this chapter, we present the SPES XT modeling framework's mechanism to capture the orthogonal concern of variability.
