A UML pro le for feature diagrams: Initiating a model driven engineering approach for software product lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an instrumented approach to integrate feature diagrams with UML models, via UML pro les and a Rational Software Architect plugin. The concrete contribution is the detail of a new UML pro le based upon a meta-model synthesising existing feature diagrams semantics, and a Rational Software Architect (RSA) implementation. Our RSA implementation makes possible to link feature diagrams with UML model artefacts. Indeed, it allows traceability between feature models and other di erent kinds of models (requirement, class diagrams, sequences or activity diagrams, etc.).

Design of a UML profile for feature diagrams and its tooling implementation
This paper proposes an instrumented approach to integrate feature diagrams with UML models to be used as part of a general approach for designing software product lines and for product generation. The concrete contribution is a new UML pro le based on a meta-model synthesising existing feature diagrams semantics using IBM R ©Rational Software Architect (RSA) implementation. Our feature diagram ...
متن کاملCardinality-Based Feature Modeling and Model-Driven Engineering: Fitting them Together
Feature Modeling is a technique which uses a specific visual notation to characterize the variability of product lines by means of diagrams. In this sense, the arrival of metamodeling frameworks in the Model-Driven Engineering field has provided the necessary background to exploit these diagrams (called feature models) in complex software development processes. However, these frameworks (such a...
متن کاملExtending a Model-Driven Engineering Environment to Support Product Line Engineering
In order to make model-driven product line engineering a reality, variability and feature modeling techniques are necessary, but not sufficient. Adequate tool support is of equal importance, and presents its own set of challenges. In this paper, we present an approach to the activities of modeling product lines, defining and verifying products, and exporting product models. Our approach pioneer...
متن کاملThe Hyper/UML Approach for Feature Based Software Design
The market requests complex but adaptable software systems. There are different concepts to meet this demand, for example software reusability, component-based development, agile processes, generative programming and domain analysis. For similar products within a domain product lines are a very promising approach for shortening development time and cost and for improving quality. Software produ...
متن کاملA Model-driven Approach for Software Product Lines Requirements Engineering
UML and feature models complement each other well and can be the base techniques for a systematic method to identify and model software product line (SPL) requirements. In this paper, we present a modeldriven approach to trace both features and UML requirements analysis model elements, and to automatically derive valuable models for domain and application engineering. The resulting contribution...
