This paper presents an algorithm for generating sets of instance descriptions (feature instances) from feature models of a domain and applies this algorithm to create a Generic Feature Modeling Environment for automating Feature-Oriented Domain Analysis.

Abstract

Feature modeling is commonly used to capture the commonalities and variabilities of systems in a domain during Domain Analysis. The output of feature modeling will be some reusable assets (components, patterns, domainspecific language, etc.) to be fed into the application engineering phase for ultimate software products. But current practice lacks an automatic approach for seamless generation of reusable assets from feature models. This paper presents an algorithm for generating sets of instance descriptions (feature instances) from feature models of a domain and applies this algorithm in creating a Generic Feature Modeling Environment for automating Feature-
