[Sabrine Edded] Preference based conflict resolution for collaborative configuration of Product Lines

     Sabrine Edded (sous la direction de Camille Salinesi et de Henda Hadjami Ben Ghezala)

     In the context of Product lines, the collaborative configuration process gets complicated when the configuration decisions of involved stakeholders are contradictory, which may lead to conflicting situations.  To deal with such situations, we propose a new collaborative configuration approach which allows conflict resolution based on stakeholders’ preferences expressed through a set of substitution rules. Based on such preferences, we delete the minimal set of conflicting configuration decisions which are identified using the Minimal Correction Subsets (MCSs) computing algorithms.
