Mastering Software Variability with FeatureIDE

Jens Meinicke is a PhD student at University of Magdeburg, Germany. Since 2011 he has developed FeatureIDE as a programmer and a researcher, and since fall 2016 he is working at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh as Visiting Researcher. Thomas Thum is a postdoctoral researcher at TU Braunschweig, Germany. In 2010, his master thesis had received the Software Engineering Award 2011 of the Ernst-Denert-Foundation, and in 2015, he received the Dissertation Award of the University of Magdeburg. He made substantial contributions to the source code between 2007 and 2010. Since then, he manages the development and releases of FeatureIDE. Reimar Schroeter is a PhD student at University of Magdeburg, Germany. Since 2012, he has been responsible for the integration of several extensions into FeatureIDE. He supervised courses in which students used FeatureIDE for product-line development and extend with new functionalities. Fabian Benduhn is a PhD student at University of Magdeburg, Germany. He has contributed to the development of FeatureIDE, used it for teaching, and has been involved in preparing FeatureIDE for industrial application together with METOP GmbH. Thomas Leich is Professor for Requirements Engineering at Harz University of Applied Sciences in Wernigerode, Germany. He is also Executive Director of METOP GmbH, an affiliate institute to the University of Magdeburg. Since 2001 he worked for several DAX 30 companies as consultant and software architect. In 2004, he initiated FeatureIDE as a part of the FeatureC++ project at the University of Magdeburg. Until today he is responsible for industrial extensions and consulting of FeatureIDE. Gunter Saake is Professor for Databases and Software Engineering at University of Magdeburg, Germany. He has more than 200 publications covering various areas of data base management, formal methods, and software engineering. He is the author of several basic and graduate text books on database technology and an introductory book for computer science students. He is also co-author of the book "Feature-Oriented Software Product Lines" (Springer, 2013) presenting the foundations of feature-oriented software product-line engineering.

"This is a very useful, practical manual specifically for students of FOP, aspect-oriented programming (AOP), domain modeling, and variability modeling who are interested in learning about state-of-the-art tools and products in these areas. ... I would strongly recommend this book for students, researchers, software developers, and other practitioners in the fields of FOP software development, AOP, and product engineering for industrial projects."
