Towards a Formalism of Configuration Properties Propagation
Original language description
Software configuration often studies two issues: firstly, how to merge various software components together to create a program with a fixed structure that fits the requirements, and secondly, how to effectively set up the remaining (usually installationspecific) configuration options when deploying the program. Nowadays, the user demands a simple and well arranged way to set up these options, possibly through a graphical user interface (GUI). There are various tools designed to assist the user with these tasks. In this paper, a general multi-platform configuration tool Freeconf is introduced. Our technique to simplify a GUI, which has been incorporated into Freeconf, is described. This technique is based on a set of properties that allow splitting the universe of configuration options into several categories with a clear semantics and rules that control the dynamics of options distribution to these categories in response to the user's actions. The rules are currently only implemented
