Feature interaction problem (FIF) is one of the most important challenges in the telecommunications. With the evolution of Internet
software (especially Web-based software) becomes more and more complex
needing more features integrated
larger scale
higher quality and more frequent evolution. As a result
FIP in software becomes inevitable and critical. It is necessary and urgent to study FIP in software in order to avoid the same problem in telecommunications. This paper introduces the fundamental concepts
achievements and trend of the FIP research in telecommunications. Moreover
tlus paper presents the status quo of the FIP research in software and our preliminary study on the FIP based on Software Architecture.
