Ontology-based feature modeling: An empirical study in changing scenarios

作者：

Highlights：

• We compare two ontology-based feature modeling styles by conducting an experiment.

• The results show that ontology factor has statistical significance in all metrics.

• The results show that the ontology based on instances is more flexible.

• The results show that the ontology based on instances demands less time to change.
