Description

This plugin supports Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) representations for feature models.

The plugin is based on flamapy and thus, it follows the same architecture.

The BDD plugin relies on the bbd4va library to synthetize and manipulate BDDs.

Requirements and Installation

• Python 3.9+
• This plugin depends on the flamapy core and on the Feature Model plugin.

pip install flamapy flamapy-fm flamapy-bdd

We have tested the plugin on Linux, but Windows is also supported under wsl.

Functionality and usage

The executable script test_bdd_metamodel.py serves as an entry point to show the plugin in action.

The following functionality is provided:

Load a feature model and create the BDD

from flamapy.metamodels.fm_metamodel.transformations import UVLReader
from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.transformations import FmToBDD

# Load the feature model from UVLReader
feature_model = UVLReader('models/uvl_models/Pizzas.uvl').transform() 

# Create the BDD from the feature model
bdd_model = FmToBDD(feature_model).transform()

Save and load a BDD to/from a file

from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.transformations import DDDMPWriter, DDDMPReader
# Save the BDD to a .dddmp file
DDDMPWriter(path='path/to/save/my_bdd.dddmp', source_model=bdd_model).transform()
# Load a BDD from a .dddmp file
bdd_model = DDDMPReader(path='path/to/my_bdd.dddmp').transform()

Analysis operations

• Satisfiable

  Return whether the model is satisfiable (valid):

  from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.operations import BDDSatisfiable
  satisfiable = BDDSatisfiable().execute(bdd_model).get_result()
  print(f'Satisfiable? (valid?): {satisfiable}')

• Configurations number

  Return the number of configurations:

  from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.operations import BDDConfigurationsNumber
  n_configs = BDDConfigurationsNumber().execute(bdd_model).get_result()
  print(f'#Configurations: {n_configs}')

• Configurations

  Enumerate the configurations of the model:

  from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.operations import BDDConfigurations
  configurations = BDDConfigurations().execute(bdd_model).get_result()
  for i, config in enumerate(configurations, 1):
      print(f'Config {i}: {[feat for feat in config.elements if config.elements[feat]]}')

• Sampling

  Return a sample of the given size of uniform random configurations with or without replacement:

  from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.operations import BDDSampling
  sampling_op = BDDSampling()
  sampling_op.set_sample_size(5)
  sampling_op.set_with_replacement(False)  # Default False
  sample = sampling_op.execute(bdd_model).get_result()
  for i, config in enumerate(sample, 1):
      print(f'Config {i}: {[feat for feat in config.elements if config.elements[feat]]}')

• Product Distribution

  Return the number of products (configurations) having a given number of features:

  from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.operations import BDDProductDistribution
  dist = BDDProductDistribution().execute(bdd_model).get_result()
  print(f'Product Distribution: {dist}')

• Feature Inclusion Probability

  Return the probability for a feature to be included in a valid configuration:

  from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.operations import BDDFeatureInclusionProbability
  prob = BDDFeatureInclusionProbability().execute(bdd_model).get_result()
  for feat in prob.keys():
      print(f'{feat}: {prob[feat]}')

• Core features

  Return the core features (those features that are present in all the configurations):

  from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.operations import BDDCoreFeatures
  core_features = BDDCoreFeatures().execute(bdd_model).get_result()
  print(f'Core features: {core_features}')

• Dead features

  Return the dead features (those features that are not present in any configuration):

  from flamapy.metamodels.bdd_metamodel.operations import BDDDeadFeatures
  dead_features = BDDDeadFeatures().execute(bdd_model).get_result()
  print(f'Dead features: {dead_features}')
