Preserving Consistency of Interrelated Models during View-Based Evolution of Variable Systems

Explore a 17-minute conference talk from ACM SIGPLAN that addresses the challenge of maintaining consistency in interrelated models during the evolution of variable systems. Delve into a proposed approach that combines unified variability management in space and time with view-based consistency preservation techniques. Examine the evaluation of this method through two real-world case studies: the ArgoUML-SPL and MobileMedia. Learn how manual evolution of Java models can lead to automatic consistency preservation in related UML class diagrams and affected products, offering a solution to the complexities of managing variability and consistency in large-scale, long-term software development projects.
