NECSIS: Managing Variability and Configurability in a MDE Development Process

The Network for the Engineering of Complex Software-Intensive Systems for Automotive Systems (NECSIS) is a research network to tackle the obstacles and develop new MDE capabilities that lead to the development of the next generation of MDE methods and tools. This project, Feature Oriented Modeling and Analysis, groups activities with involvement of the GSD Lab members within the NECSIS Theme 3: Uncertainty, Adaptability, and Variability.
