Intersection of feature models

Published:02 September 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present an algorithm for the construction of the intersection of two feature models. The feature models are allowed to have "requires" and "excludes" constraints, and should be parent-compatible. The algorithm is applied to the problem of combining feature models from stakeholders with different viewpoints.
