4. Program Comprehension
Janet Feigenspan [
Program Comprehension in the context of FOSD
How can/should we measure program comprehension?
Can visualizations, e.g., background colors, support program comprehension?
How can we compare the understandability of FOSD approaches?

6. The Role of Code Cloning in Software Product Lines
Sandro Schulze
Motivation: code clones (i.e. replicated code fragments) are considered to be serious in (monolithic) software systems
-> What about code clones in Software Product Lines?
Research topics:
- Do code clones exist in SPLs (compositional and annotative approach)
- Differences between implementation approches (compositional vs. annotative) regarding occurences od code clones
- Relation of code clones and variability in SPLs
- Refactoring of clones in SPLs

7. Measuring and Optimizing Non-functional Properties in SPL Engineering
Norbert Siegmund [
Non-functional Properties in Software Product Line Engineering:
How can we predict the performance or footprint of an SPL‘s product without producing it?
How can we optimize a configuration for desired non-functional properties?
What is the influence of a certain feature selection with respect to non-functional properties?
How can we measure a feature‘s non-functional properties?
