Product Line Puzzles with Holmes

As prescribed by a few methodologies the Software Product Lines consist of Domain Engineering (DE) and Application Engineering (AE). One of the major problems when performing DE is to keep the information pertaining to the different phases of DE in synchronization. The existing CASE tools have achieved full support for change propagation between the design phase and the implementation phase. Still, at least up to our knowledge, there is no tool that provides consistent mapping from the phase of Domain Definition to the phase of Domain Framework implementation. In this paper we will present what we have achieved in our effort to provide a practical solution for the aforementioned problem.
