Towards a Model for Specifying and Composing Concerns in Software Product Line Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to fulfil sets of similar user requirements within a specific application domain, one typically uses software product line engineering. In this paper, we investigate the nature of implementations of concerns, specific to software product line engineering. Based on these investigations, we present an approach that allows a modular specification and composition of concerns, with the purpose of constructing concrete variants of a software product line. The approach uses concepts from generic and aspect-oriented programming, and adapts them to the requirements imposed by software product line engineering.

Towards Engineering Product Lines Using Concerns
Separation of concerns is accepted as introducing numerous benefits into software development and maintenance. In this position paper, we argue for a method that introduces separation of concerns into product line software engineering. The method covers the complete product line life cycle and integrates the different concerns expressed at the different product line life cycle stages.
متن کاملTowards Concern-Oriented Design of Component-Based Systems
Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is based on defining, implementing and composing loosely coupled, independent components, thus increasing modularity, analyzability, separation of concerns and reuse. However, complete separation of concerns is difficult to achieve in CBSE when concerns crosscut several components. Furthermore, in some cases, reuse of components is limited because com...
متن کاملComposing Feature Models
Feature modeling is a widely used technique in Software Product Line development. Feature models allow stakeholders to describe domain concepts in terms of commonalities and differences within a family of software systems. Developing a complex monolithic feature model can require significant effort and restrict the reusability of a set of features already modeled. We advocate using modeling tec...
متن کاملModeling Software Product Line Variability in Use Case Scenarios An Approach Based on Crosscutting Mechanisms
Variability management is a common challenge for Software Product Line (SPL) adoption, since developers need suitable mechanisms for specifying and implementing variability that are likely to occur at different SPL disciplines (requirements, design, implementation, and test). In this thesis we present a novel approach for managing variabilities in use case scenarios. This approach aims at impro...
متن کاملA Multimodel Approach for Specifying the Requirements Variability on Software Product Lines
Requirements engineering is a key activity on any software development project. In Software Product Line development, this activity is even more important since requirements may encompass commonality and variability. Furthermore, a requirement specification usually is composed by more than one model. In this context it is necessary to specify the requirements variability in the different models...
