HoWCoM 2023 - Collaboration and Versioning Framework

This repository contains the artifacts provided for the HoWCoM 2023 MODELS Workshop.

File description

• framework.xml contains the complete feature model as presented in the paper. This file can directly opened in FeatureIDE (> v3.9.3)
• framework.uvl contains the complete feature model in the novel universal variablity language (UVL). This model needs some more files in order to be opened correctly in FeatureIDE:
  • submodules/*: Some parts of the feature model are outsourced in so-called submodules for a better reuse.
  • .profiles/To Be Deleted.profile: this file contains the color information for all constraints. For some reason, it must be named like this!?
• framework.pdf: PDF with the complete feature model and the constraints for each main-subtree side-by-side.
• configurations/*: This directory contains the configurations as presented in the paper.
• configurations.pdf: PDF with the configurations in a comparison table.
• index.html: The main entrypoint of the interactive website that allows the generation of configurations. The following files are needed by the website to work:
  • alternative.svg, or.svg: just two icons used in the feature tree.
  • framework.xml: this file is directly used by the website to build up the feature tree.
  • js/*: needed javascript modules for the generation of the featuretree and the interactive analysis of the current configuration according to the cross tree constraints.

Interactive Configurator

At https://sp-uulm.github.io/howcom23-collaboration-and-versioning-framework/ the interactive configurator is up and running and can be directly used.
