Component-based approach to feature interaction -- as seen in PBX systems
Matthew P. Driscoll, Uri Jacob. Braun, Nathan Scott. Wilfert · Digital WPI · 2000
We have researched, designed and implemented a framework to address feature interaction in a software system. The Feature Interaction problem occurs when a new feature is added to an existing software system. The problem has been extensively studied within the telecommunication domain. With support from Natural MicroSystems, Inc., we have created a component-based solution to solving the feature interaction problem. We have developed a prototype PBX system by redesigning Natural MicroSystems software.
