A Meshing Tool Product Line Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meshing tools are extremely complex pieces of software. Traditionally, they have been built in a one by one basis, without systematically reusing already developed parts. The area has matured so that we can currently think of building meshing tools in a more industrial manner. Software product lines is a trend in software development that promotes systematic reuse. We propose a layered product line architecture for meshing tools that can be instantiated with different algorithms, ways of implementing basic concepts, and even for two or three dimensional meshing tools. We specify it formally using xADL and we show that the architecture is compatible with a series of already built tools. This work is the beginning of a domain analysis that has the potential to go beyond the sometimes rigid descriptions provided by architectural description languages.

متن کاملA Systematic Process for Defining Meshing Tool Software Product Line Domain Model
Once an organization decides to develop a software product line (SPL), one of the first activities that needs to be done is to build a domain model. Here, commonalities and variabilities are identified, as well as the particular characteristics that products of the SPL will have. Although there exist some methods proposed for domain modeling, they are general and not specifically designed for s...
متن کاملReuse of Architectural Knowledge in SPL Development
Software Product Lines (SPL) promote reuse within an application domain in an organized fashion. Preimplemented software components are arranged according to a product line architecture (PLA). Balancing possibly conflicting quality attributes of all potential products makes PLA design a challenging task. Moreover, if quality attributes are part of the variabilities of the SPL, then a unique PLA...
متن کاملDynamic Meshing Characteristics of Elliptic Cylinder Gear Based on Tooth Contact Analysis
As the most important working area of gear, teeth play the role of transmitting load and power. Tooth line and tooth profile are the two main characteristics of the tooth surface, which affect the shape of the tooth surface, tooth meshing characteristics and contact characteristics. Taking the elliptical cylinder gear pair in the reversing device of a new type of drum pumping unit as the resear...
متن کاملAnalysis of a software product line architecture: an experience report
This paper describes experiences with the architectural specification and tool-assisted architectural analysis of a mission-critical, high-performance software product line. The approach used defines a ‘‘good’’ product line architecture in terms of those quality attributes required by the particular product line under development. Architectures are analyzed against several criteria by both manu...
