The success of product line engineering techniques in the last 15
years has popularized the use of software variability as a key
modeling approach for describing the commonality and variability of
systems at all stages of the software lifecycle. Software product
lines enable a family of products to share a common core platform,
while allowing for product specific functionality being built on
top of the platform. Many companies have exploited the concept of
software product lines to increase the resources that focus on
highly differentiating functionality and thus improve their
competitiveness with higher quality and reusable products and
decreasing the time-to-market condition. Many books on product line
engineering either introduce specific product line techniques or
include brief summaries of industrial cases. From these sources, it
is difficult to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various
dimensions and aspects of software variability. Here the editors
address this gap by providing a comprehensive reference on the
notion of variability modeling in the context of software product
line engineering, presenting an overview of the techniques proposed
for variability modeling and giving a detailed perspective on
software variability management. Their book is organized in four
main parts, which guide the reader through the various aspects and
dimensions of software variability. Part 1 which is mostly written
by the editors themselves introduces the major topics related to
software variability modeling, thus providing a multi-faceted view
of both technological and management issues. Next, part 2 of the
book comprises four separate chapters dedicated to research and
commercial tools. Part 3 then continues with the most practical
viewpoint of the book presenting three different industry cases on
how variability is managed in real industry projects. Finally, part
4 concludes the book and encompasses six different chapters on
emerging research topics in software variability like e.g.
service-oriented or dynamic software product lines, or variability
and aspect orientation. Each chapter briefly summarizes "What you
will learn in this chapter", so both expert and novice readers can
easily locate the topics dealt with. Overall, the book captures the
current state of the art and best practices, and indicates
important open research challenges as well as possible pitfalls.
Thus it serves as a reference for researchers and practitioners in
software variability management, allowing them to develop the next
set of solutions, techniques and methods in this complicated and
yet fascinating field of software engineering.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th
International Conference on Software Reuse, ICSR 2018, held in
Madrid, Spain, in May 2018. The 9 revised full papers and 2 short
papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29
submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical
sections: variability management; hierarchies and reuse measures;
dependencies and traceability; and software product lines, features
and reuse of code rewriters.
