Résumé
A large number of extensions of Feature Oriented Domain Analysis (FODA)
Feature Diagrams
were introduced to compensate for a purported ambiguity and
lack of precision and expressiveness of the original FODA feature
diagrams (OFD). However, they never received a formal semantics, which
is the hallmark of precision and unambiguity. We propose here a
formal semantics for all these diagrams, thanks to a generic construction
that we call Free Feature Diagrams (FFD).
From this we demonstrate that OFD are
precise, unambiguous, and expressively complete, and thus that all
extensions add no expressiveness. A finer notion is thus needed to
compare these languages. Two solutions are well-established:
succinctness and embeddability, that express naturalness of a language.
This tool shows that some extensions indeed bring some naturalness, but are
harmfully redundant and that the same naturalness can be attained
with the simpler varied FD (VFD).
