Software Product Line Engineering for Long-Lived, Sustainable Systems

The design and operation of long-lived, sustainable systems (LSS) are hampered by limited support for change over time and limited preservation of system knowledge. The solution we propose is to adopt software product-line engineering (SPLE) techniques for use in single, critical systems with requirements for sustainability. We describe how four categories of change in a LSS can be usefully han...

A Framework for Software Product Line Engineering

Adaptable Components for Software Product Line Engineering

This paper explores techniques for implementing adaptable software components. Such techniques can greatly facilitate the implementation of software product lines. The techniques we present allow the construction of large transparently adaptable components via composition and parameterization. Functional and structural adaptation, to any level of nesting, is achieved at the point of instantiati...

Introduction to Software Product Line Engineering

Software Product Line Engineering with Feature Models

One increasing trend in software development is the need to develop multiple, similar software products instead of just a single individual product. There are several reasons for this. Products that are being developed for the international market must be adapted for different legal or cultural environments, as well as for different languages, and so must provide adapted user interfaces. Becaus...
