Software Variability as a new Computational Thinking dimension

Software Variability as a new Computational Thinking dimension

Announcement, Product lines, Uncategorized
A new Open Educational Resource (OER) has been released to help bring software variability — an emerging and research-supported dimension of computational thinking — into the classroom.The resource encourages students to move beyond creating isolated programs and instead learn how to reason about families of related solutions through configurable systems.Designed mainly for teachers and students in secondary education and vocational training, the OER connects computational thinking with everyday situations such as customizing a smartphone or choosing options in a video game.Through interactive activities, modeling exercises, and programming tasks, learners explore how shared structures can generate multiple variations.The resource is organized into five modules, including an introduction to variability concepts, modeling with diagrams and the Universal Variability Language (UVL), metaprogramming using Snap!, a configurable maze game project, and a gamified assessment…

New book release about Feature Models!

Doctors, Product lines, Projects
We've been given a pair of good news this last week regarding our lab cofounder Dr. David Benavides, who has been elected as Coordinador del programa de doctorado de ingeniería informática de la Universidad de Sevilla (Computer Engineering PhD Degree Coordinator), as well as given the greenlight from Springer for his first book publishing. And it gets even better than that: it's open access, what basically means it's free! Feature Models: AI-Driven Design, Analysis and Applications will surely clarify all concerns about variability systems and its modeling and restriction creation using Artificial Intelligence, as well as provide a basic introduction to analysis and notation. Congratulations Dr. Benavides for your new book and position!

New Seminar on SPL and Machine Learning!

Events, Product lines
We recently had the honour of hosting a seminar by Rennes University Professor Paul Temple, on the integration of Machine Learning and SPL (Software Product Lines) where he talked about previous and future investigation, as well as sharing the results of his most recent research on the topic. We were introduced to the Variability Systems expert lab on Rennes University, DiverSE. Among their most valuable contributions, is extensive research on feature model (main tool for creating a domain or scope for a variability system) automation and constraints creation for them. The event was introduced by Valére, an international student that we had the pleasure to collaborate with on his stay on Seville (Picture 1), and followed by Professor Paul Temple (Picture 2). We will surely be featuring more high quality…
