Towards an agile feature composition for a large scale software product lines

Abstract

Modern applications tend to be cross-industry and to cover simultaneously different domains. Feature models need then to be composed in order to build domains with much larger scopes. Many approaches have been proposed by researchers to address this composition issue. Though, an overview of these compositional approaches shows that there are several areas for improvement especially in terms of automation tool support and agility. Our proposal in this doctoral paper is to discuss the feasibility of bringing the agility and the dynamism of software oriented computing techniques to the feature models composition relevant to different domains throughout a mashing up of their cooperating services.
