Reuse Economics from a Product Line Point of View
نویسنده
چکیده
ABSTRACT Due to the specific approach to reuse in product line engineering, this approach brings a specific point of view to reuse economics. As a consequence some established assumptions and abstractions of reuse economics that are valid in most opportunistic approaches to reuse must be revisited. The list of issues ranges from the basic estimation models used as input to reuse economics models to real options used for valuing uncertainty and flexibility in reuse. Some of the issues we uncover are also relevant for reuse economics in general.

Successful Product Line Engineering : A Case Study 1
The economics of software motivates approaches to reduce the cost of development and life-cycle maintenance of software systems. One approach to reducing cost is to create a product line, a group of similar products structured to take advantage of each other’s assets. Product lines epitomize reuse. Experience is showing that a technical approach alone is not sufficient to produce a successful p...
متن کاملMeasuring the Ability to Form a Product Line from Existing Products
A product line approach can save valuable resources by reusing artifacts. Especially for software artifacts, the reuse of existing components is highly desirable. In recent literature, the creation of software product lines is mainly proposed from a top-down point of view regarding features which are visible by customers. In practice, however, the design for a product line often arises from one...

متن کاملAnalyzing Variability of Software Product Lines Using Semantic and Ontological Considerations
Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is an approach to systematically reuse software-related artifacts among different, yet similar, software products. Previewing requirements as drivers of different development methods and activities, several studies have suggested using requirements specifications to identify and analyze commonality and variability of software products. These studies main...
متن کاملAn Instance-Oriented Approach to Constructing Product Lines from Layers
The Model/View/Controller (MVC) paradigm, and its many variants, is a cornerstone of decoupling within object-oriented design. MVC leads to clear reuse benefits regarding the class hierarchies for the model and view elements. In practice, however, the controllers appear to defy reuse, most likely because they encapsulate specialized business logic. Within an effective product line, however, suc...
