	abstract = {A  software  product  line  comprises  a  set  of  products implementing
different   configurations   of  features.  The  set  of  valid  feature
configurations  within  a  product  line  can  be described by a feature
model.  In  some  practical situations, a feature configuration needs to
be   derived   in   stages   by   creating   a   series   of  successive
specializations  of  the  initial  feature  model.  In  this  paper,  we
consider  the  scenario  where  changes to the feature model due to, for
example,  the  evolution  of  the product line, need to be propagated to
its   existing  specializations  and  configurations.  After  discussing
general   dimensions   of   model   synchronization,   a   solution   to
synchronizing     cardinality-based    feature    models    and    their
specializations and configurations is presented.},
