The Proceedings of the first  International Conference on Smart Applications (ICSA 2025), held in Constantine, Algeria present a curated collection of peer-reviewed papers showcasing recent progress, emerging trends, and impactful applications in the field of smart applications in Healthcare, Precision Farming and Transportation. Featuring contributions from international researchers, practitioners, and industry specialists, this volume highlights both theoretical developments and real-world solutions addressing today’s key challenges.Topics explored include Smart Farming, IoT and Smart Cities , AI and HealthCare, Smart Systems and Networking, and related interdisciplinary areas. Each paper offers original insights, methodological advances, and practical implications that support innovation and collaboration across the community.This proceedings volume serves as an essential reference for academics, engineers, professionals, and graduate students seeking to stay informed about current research directions and future opportunities in smart applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Software Reuse, ICSR 2018, held in Madrid, Spain, in May 2018. The 9 revised full papers and 2 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions.

The success of product line engineering techniques in the last 15 years has popularized the use of software variability as a key modeling approach for describing the commonality and variability of systems at all stages of the software lifecycle. Software product lines enable a family of products to share a common core platform, while allowing for product specific functionality being built on top of the platform. Many companies have exploited the concept of software product lines to increase the resources that focus on highly differentiating functionality and thus improve their competitiveness with higher quality and reusable products and decreasing the time-to-market condition. Many books on product line engineering either introduce specific product line techniques or include brief summaries of industrial cases. From these sources, it is difficult to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various dimensions and aspects of software variability. Here the editors address this gap by providing a comprehensive reference on the notion of variability modeling in the context of software product line engineering, presenting an overview of the techniques proposed for variability modeling and giving a detailed perspective on software variability management. Their book is organized in four main parts, which guide the reader through the various aspects and dimensions of software variability. Part 1 which is mostly written by the editors themselves introduces the major topics related to software variability modeling, thus providing a multi-faceted view of both technological and management issues. Next, part 2 of the book comprises four separate chapters dedicated to research and commercial tools. Part 3 then continues with the most practical viewpoint of the book presenting three different industry cases on how variability is managed in real industry projects. Finally, part 4 concludes the book and encompasses six different chapters on emerging research topics in software variability like e.g. service-oriented or dynamic software product lines, or variability and aspect orientation.Each chapter briefly summarizes “What you will learn in this chapter”, so both expert and novice readers can easily locate the topics dealt with. Overall, the book captures the current state of the art and best practices, and indicates important open research challenges as well as possible pitfalls. Thus it serves as a reference for researchers and practitioners in software variability management, allowing them to develop the next set of solutions, techniques and methods in this complicated and yet fascinating field of software engineering.
