title = "EvoFM: feature-driven planning of product-line evolution",
abstract = "Companies successfully applying product line approaches often follow a long-term strategy and need to plan product portfolios years ahead. For instance in the automotive industry, managers constantly make decisions about future product evolution, like {"}the LED tail lights will be introduced with the next facelift and the LED front lights two years later{"}. With a raising number of features, feature changes, and evolution steps, a systematic approach for evolution planning becomes essential. However, there is only very little support for such evolution in model-based product line engineering so far. This paper presents an approach for extending model-driven product line engineering towards automated and tool-supported techniques for product line evolution. We provide a feature-based approach to model the variability over time and a catalogue of change operators for feature models.",
