Sven Apel, Christian Kästner, and Christian Lengauer. Research Challenges in the Tension Between Features and Services. In Proceedings of the ICSE Workshop on Systems Development in SOA Environments (SDSOA), ISBN 978-1-60558-029-6, pages 53--58, New York, NY: ACM Press, May 2008.

We present a feature-based approach, known from software product lines, to the development of service-oriented architectures. We discuss five benefits of such an approach: improvements in modularity, variability, uniformity, specifiability, and typeability. Subsequently, we review preliminary experiences and results, and propose an agenda for further research in this direction.
