Title
Feature Model Synthesis
Abstract
Variability is a software system's ability to adapt and customize itself for a particular context. While variability enables code reuse, it is often tangled within a software artifact and scattered over multiple artifacts. This makes the system harder to maintain for developers, and harder to understand for users that configure the software.

Title
Signaling in Frequency Selective Gaussian Interference Channels
Abstract
Sharing communication resources in wireless communication networks, due to the ever increasing growth in the number of users and the growing demand for higher data rates, appears to be inevitable. Consequently, present wireless communication networks should provide service for a large number of users through a frequency selective and interference limited medium rather than a single band, noise limited channel.
