Abstract:

Feature-Oriented Software Development (FOSD) is widely used in Software Product Line 
Engineering (SPLE). FOSD constructs product families by incremental feature implementations. 
In this paper, we introduce a feature-oriented component-based approach, which implements 
features as an encapsulated components for further family modelling. A case study of elevator 
systems is also presented to describe the use of our approach.
