Abstract

In the paper the employment of fuzzy logic in feature models for software system families is presented. The fuzzy weights of some variable features are introduced. The approach is demonstrated on the example of the feature model describing car properties. The formulas resulting from the description of the feature tree and its constraints can be used as input for an expert system validating possible feature combinations.
