A feature-interaction benchmark for IN and beyond

Architecture Challenges for Intelligent Autonomous Machines

“…A feature interaction is said to occur when the operation of a subsystem/feature interferes with the operation of another subsystem/feature leading to unexpected and undesirable system level behavior [15,16]. An example of feature interaction in the automotive domain would be the simultaneous activation of the brakes and throttle.…”

Modelling SIP Services Using Cress

“…Most modelling approaches deal with features and how they can be composed to form larger services. A critical lesson from telephony is that services or features often interfere with each other in unexpected and undesirable ways -the so-called feature interaction problem [3].…”

Incremental model evolution and reusability of supervisors for discrete event systems

“…Examples of such situations are: (i) the addition of a new component to the system (e.g., a new switch is added to a telecommunications network or a new sensor is added to a manufacturing system); (ii) the replacement of an old component by a new component with di!erent capabilities (Agre, Clare, Lee, Brandin, Hoskins & Perrone, 1995); (iii) the addition of a new speci"cation on the legal behavior of the controlled system that requires`re"ninga the system model (i.e., modeling the behavior with greater detail using additional events); and (iv) changes in the system functionality or`process changesa, e.g., a new part is added to the set of parts that a manufacturing system can process (as in a programmable or recon"gurable factory (National Research Council, 1995)) or a new feature is added to a telecommunications system (see Cameron, Gri!eth, Lin, Nilson, Schnure & Velthuijsen, 1993;Thistle, MalhameH , Hoang & Lafortune, 1997;Chen, Lafortune & Lin, 1997).…”
