Abstract The problem of configuring a variability model is widespread in many different domains. A leading automobile manufacturer has developed its technology internally to model vehicle diversity. This technology relies on the approach known as knowledge compilation to explore the configurations space. However, the growing variability and complexity of the vehicles’ range hardens the space representation problem and impacts performance requirements. This paper tackles these issues by exploiting symmetries that represent isomorphic parts in the configurations space.
