Abstract
Many product line engineering methods use the feature model to structure commonality and variability among products in terms of features and to derive a product feature configuration, which is the set of features required for the development of a product. Features to be selected during product derivation are mainly determined based on the quality attributes required for a product. Most methods published so far derived an optimal product feature configuration through linear co-relationship between features and quality attributes. However, the co-relationship between features and quality attributes can be formulated as a non-linear function because of feature interactions. This paper proposes a method that derives an optimal product feature configuration considering feature interactions. Four product line cases are used to validate the proposed methods.
