Context: The Importance of Dynamic Variability Management in Dynamic Software Product Lines. Objective: Define a protocol for conducting a systematic mapping study to summarize and synthesize evidence on dynamic variability management for Dynamic Software Product Lines in self-adaptive systems. Method: Application the protocol to conduct a systematic mapping study according the guidelines of K. Petersen. Results: A validated protocol to conduct a systematic mapping study. Conclusions: First findings show that it is necessary to visualize new ways to manage variability in dynamic software product lines.
