People in the lab are very enthusiastic about what they do. The environment is very stimulating and soon you realize that most of the limits are those in your head.
Feature and Meta-Models in Clafer: Mixed, Specialized, and Coupled has been accepted at SLE 2010
The paper Feature and Meta-Models in Clafer: Mixed, Specialized, and Coupled has been accepted for publication at SLE 2010. We present Clafer, a meta-modeling language with first-class support for feature modeling. It provides a concise notation for meta-models, feature models, mixtures of meta- and feature models (such as components with options), and models that couple feature models and meta-models via constraints (such as mapping feature configurations to component configurations or model templates). We identified four key mechanisms allowing a meta-modeling language to express feature models concisely and show that Clafer meets its design objectives using a sample product line. Clafer was evaluated on over 60 realistic feature models, meta-models, and feature-based templates.
