Outline of Final Research Achievements

The size and complexity of software models become larger and also they are constantly changing. As a result, models tend to include undefined and/or unverified parts in them; it is quite difficult to make software models always consistent. In this research, we examine product derivations in software product lines development, and propose an approximate configuration management method considering such inconsistencies. We also observe that deriving smaller size of configurations is beneficial, and propose a method to derive smaller size of configurations at lower cost. We evaluate the method in terms of simulations.
