Feature models [Kan90] and pattern languages [Ale79] are similar ways of specifying domain specific languages (DSL). Whereas feature models may be used in deriving a matrix computation library from the family of matrix computation libraries [CzE00], a pattern language could be used in deriving a shopping mall from a family of shopping malls [Ale75]. Both approaches are ways of specifying a doma...
