Abstract
In this article, we describe the usage and evaluation results of the tool DSPLNum²Analyzer introduced by the paper "Lifted Static Analysis of Dynamic Program Families by Abstract Interpretation". We provide step-by-step instructions on how to download, install, run, and compare the tool’s outputs to outputs described in the paper. DSPLNum²Analyzer is a research prototype lifted static analyzer based on abstract interpretation designed for performing numerical static analysis of dynamic C program families.

Lifted Static Analysis of Dynamic Program Families by Abstract Interpretation

Authors: Aleksandar S. Dimovski and Sven Apel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 194, 35th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2021)


Abstract
Program families (software product lines) are increasingly adopted by industry for building families of related software systems. A program family offers a set of features (configured options) to control the presence and absence of software functionality. Features in program families are often assigned at compile-time, so their values can only be read at run-time. However, today many program families and application domains demand run-time adaptation, reconfiguration, and post-deployment tuning. Dynamic program families (dynamic software product lines) have emerged as an attempt to handle variability at run-time. Features in dynamic program families can be controlled by ordinary program variables, so reads and writes to them may happen at run-time. Recently, a decision tree lifted domain for analyzing traditional program families with numerical features has been proposed, in which decision nodes contain linear constraints defined over numerical features and leaf nodes contain analysis properties defined over program variables. Decision nodes partition the configuration space of possible feature values, while leaf nodes provide analysis information corresponding to each partition of the configuration space. As features are statically assigned at compile-time, decision nodes can be added, modified, and deleted only when analyzing read accesses of features. In this work, we extend the decision tree lifted domain so that it can be used to efficiently analyze dynamic program families with numerical features. Since features can now be changed at run-time, decision nodes can be modified when handling read and write accesses of feature variables. For this purpose, we define extended transfer functions for assignments and tests as well as a special widening operator to ensure termination of the lifted analysis. To illustrate the potential of this approach, we have implemented a lifted static analyzer, called DSPLNum²Analyzer, for inferring numerical invariants of dynamic program families written in C. An empirical evaluation on benchmarks from SV-COMP indicates that our tool is effective and provides a flexible way of adjusting the precision/cost ratio in static analysis of dynamic program families.

Feature Interactions: The Next Generation (Dagstuhl Seminar 14281)

Authors: Sven Apel, Joanne M. Atlee, Luciano Baresi, and Pamela Zave

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 7 (2014)


Abstract
The feature-interaction problem is a major threat to modularity and impairs compositional development and reasoning. A feature interaction occurs when the behavior of one feature is affected by the presence of another feature; often it cannot be deduced easily from the behaviors of the individual features involved. The feature-interaction problem became a crisis in the telecommunications industry in the late 1980s, and researchers responded with formalisms that enable automatic detection of feature interactions, architectures that avoid classes of interactions, and techniques for resolving interactions at run-time. While this pioneering work was foundational and very successful, it is limited in the sense that it is based on assumptions that hold only for telecommunication systems. In the meantime, different notions of feature interactions have emerged in different communities, including Internet applications, service systems, adaptive systems, automotive systems, software product lines, requirements engineering, and computational biology. So, feature interactions are a much more general concept than investigated in the past in the context of telecommunication systems, but a classification, comparison, and generalization of the multitude of different views is missing. The feature-interaction problem is still of pivotal importance in various industrial applications, and the Dagstuhl seminar "Feature Interactions: The Next Generation" gathered researchers and practitioners from different areas of computer science and other disciplines with the goal to compare, discuss, and consolidate their views, experience, and domain-specific solutions to the feature-interaction problem.

Feature-Oriented Software Development (FOSD) (Dagstuhl Seminar 11021)

Authors: Sven Apel, William Cook, Krzysztof Czarnecki, and Oscar Nierstrasz

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2011)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 11021 "Feature-Oriented Software Development (FOSD)". FOSD is an emerging paradigm that aims at increasing the level of automation, reuse, and variation in software development. The main goal of the Dagstuhl seminar on FOSD was to gather researchers and practitioners who are active in different communities to discuss the roots, state of the art, and future directions of FOSD research and practice. Additional goals were to strengthen the identity of the feature orientation community and to relate FOSD to other software development paradigms. The report contains an executive summary, abstracts of the talks held during the seminar, and summaries of special sessions.

08281 Executive Summary – Software Engineering for Tailor-made Data Management

Authors: Sven Apel, Don Batory, Goetz Graefe, Gunter Saake, and Olaf Spinczyk

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8281, Software Engineering for Tailor-made Data Management (2008)


Abstract
Tailor-made data management software (DMS) is not only important in the field of embedded systems. DMS that incorporates only features that are required bear the potential to strip down the code base and to improve reliability and maintainability. In the past 20 years several new technologies have emerged that aim at lean, efficient, and well-structured software, which should also be applicable to DMS. In the Dagstuhl Seminar ``Software Engineering for Tailor-made Data Management'', July 6h to July 11th, 2008, 29 researchers from 7 countries discussed the development, application, and assessment of these new technologies in the context of DMS.
