Theme:
Software broadly influences the design, construction, deployment, and evolution of complex systems such as automobiles, avionics, cyber physical systems, smart cities, and robotics. To support the engineering of such complex software-Intensive systems, reuse is essential for reducing costs and time to market, increasing productivity, and improving software quality. However, to leverage software reuse when engineering software-Intensive systems, practitioners must deal with variability, in order to extend, change, customize, and configure products or artifacts for use in particular contexts. Managing variability in the engineering of complex software-intensive systems is therefore very challenging and spans across the entire life cycle, from requirements elicitation to runtime operation and maintenance.
This special issue focuses on novel approaches, methods, techniques, and empirical studies for systematically managing variability in all stages of engineering software-intensive systems.
