The Challenges of Broadening the Scope of Software Product Families
Addressing the challenges involved in broadening the scope of software product families.
Multi-Agent System Product Lines: Challenges and Benefits
On the one hand, the field of software product lines (SPLs), as described in the articles in this section, covers all the software development life cycle necessary to develop a family of products where the derivation of concrete products is made systematically and rapidly [10]. On the other hand, agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) is a […]
The current trend of globalization is pressuring industries to explore ways to diversify and deliver their products in a timely and efficient manner. Over the last decade, the software product line (SPL) has emerged as one of the most promising software development paradigms for drastically increasing the productivity of IT-related industries, enabling them to handle […]
New Methods in Software Product Line Practice
Examining the benefits of next-generation SPL methods.
Multi-Level Customization in Application Engineering
Developing mechanisms for mapping features to analysis models.
Automated Analysis of Feature Models: Challenges Ahead
A feature is an increment in product functionality. Features are commonly used to specify and distinguish products in product lines [8]. They communicate product functions in an easy-to-understand way, capture functionalities concisely, and help delineate the commonalities and variabilities of a domain. Features can have attributes (much like graphical user interface components can be customized […]

NMP on the Internet is not only possible, its delay bounds can satisfy the tight requirements involved in human perception while generating high-end audio quality for musicians and listeners alike.
How Sensitive Are Online Gamers to Network Quality?
Game-playing time is strongly related to network QoS, helping determine user satisfaction and deliver better service quality to online gamers.
Demanding new Internet applications have produced a radical and fundamental shift in the nature of entertainment.
Anyone Can Broadcast Video Over the Internet
A mesh-based P2P streaming mechanism provides TV-like distribution service to average computer users over the Internet with no special support from the network.
New Architecture For Intra-Domain Network Security Issues
Developing an effective platform for deterring network attacks.
Latency and Player Actions in Online Games
Latency determines not only how players experience online gameplay but also how to design the games to mitigate its effects and meet player expectations.
Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
