A Framework for Software Product Line Engineering

Patterns for Product Line Engineering

Introduction Software Product Line Engineering (PLE) has become an important way of building and reusing software. In PLE, the focus is shifted from building isolated products to building families of related products, while reuse is discussed not at an individual object level , e.g. libraries or components, but as a whole: organizational, process wise, and also life cycle wise end to end from r...

Feature-Oriented Product Line Engineering

Customers and engineers usually speak of product characteristics in terms of the features the product has or delivers, so it’s natural and intuitive to express any commonality or variability in terms of feat...

Affordable Model-Based Product-Line Engineering of Safety-Critical Systems

This papers gives an overview of our PhD subject, describes its status about one year after its kick-off, and provides a schedule for the remaining tasks. Our work builds upon a tradition of research on model-driven development carried out since many years at the University of Namur’s CS department. It aims to improve, extend, integrate and apply both old (static modeling related) and recent (d...
