Delta modeling workflow

In previous work we show how abstract delta modeling can be used to model product lines. The formalism assigns a functional meaning to features from a feature model and provides a novel mechanism for resolving implementation conflicts without code duplication or overspecification. But in the vast expressive space of delta modeling, it may not be clear to a developer how to create a product line from scratch. The formalism was descriptive rather than prescriptive. To that end, we propose a
more » ... pment workflow based directly on Abstract Delta Modeling. We show preservation of global unambiguity and completeness in the product lines resulting from this workflow. We also show that the workflow naturally supports concurrent development.
