Abstract :
The two articles in this special section address the topic of systems and software vaiability. Variability management involves two key challenges. First, industrial reality shows that for successful platforms, the number of variation points, variants (alternatives that can be selected for a variation point), and dependencies between variation points and variants easily reaches staggering levels.
