Abstract-Software Product Line Engineering has significant advantages in family-based software development. The common and variable structure for all products of a family is defined through a Product-Line Architecture (PLA) that consists of a common set of reusable components and connectors which can be configured to build the different products. The design of PLA requires solutions for capturing such configuration (variability). The Flexible-PLA Model is a solution that supports the specification of external variability of the PLA configuration, as well as internal variability of components. However, a complete support for product-line development requires translating architecture specifications into code. This complex task needs automation to avoid human error. Since Model-Driven Development allows automatic code generation from models, this paper presents a solution to automatically generate AspectJ code from Flexible-PLA modelspreviously configured to derive specific products. This solution is supported by a modeling framework and validated in a software factory.

Abstract. Diversity is prevalent in modern software systems to facilitate adapting the software to customer requirements or the execution environment. Diversity has an impact on all phases of the software development process. Appropriate means and organizational structures are required to deal with the additional complexity introduced by software variability. This introductory article to the special section "Software Diversity -Modeling, Analysis and Evolution" provides an overview of the current state of the art in diverse systems development and discusses challenges and potential solutions. The article covers requirements analysis, design, implementation, verification and validation, maintenance and evolution as well as organizational aspects. It also provides an overview of the articles which are part of this special section and address particular issues of diverse systems development.

Abstract. The HATS project aims at developing a model-centric methodology for the design, implementation and verification of highly configurable systems, such as software product lines, centred around the Abstract Behavioural Specification (ABS) modelling Language. This article describes the variability modelling features of the ABS Modelling framework. It consists of four languages, namely, µTVL for describing feature models at a high level of abstraction, the Delta Modelling Language DML for describing variability of the 'code' base in terms of delta modules, the Product Line Configuration Language CL for linking feature models and delta modules together and the Product Selection Language PSL for describing a specific product to extract from a product line. Both formal semantics and examples of each language are presented.
