Model Superimposition in Software Product Lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
In software product line engineering, feature composition generates software tailored to specific requirements from a common set of artifacts. Superimposition is a technique to merge code pieces belonging to different features. The advent of model-driven development raises the question of how to support the variability of software product lines in modeling techniques. We propose to use superimposition as a model composition technique in order to support variability. We analyze the feasibility of superimposition for model composition, offer corresponding tool support, and discuss our experiences with three case studies (including an industrial case study).

Tool Support for Software Variability Management and Product Derivation in Software Product Lines
Software variability management is a key challenge in developing software product lines and deriving products from the product line. In order to provide effective variability management and product derivation in software product lines, which is capable of being automated, certain fundamental building blocks are required. These include multiple product line views, the feature model as the unifyi...
متن کاملUsing Markov Chain to Analyze Production Lines Systems with Layout Constraints
There are some problems with estimating the time required for the manufacturing process of products, especially when there is a variable serving time, like control stage. These problems will cause overestimation of process time. Layout constraints, reworking constraints and inflexible product schedule in multi product lines need a precise planning to reduce volume in particular situation of lin...
متن کاملSuperimposition: A Language-Independent Approach to Software Composition
Superimposition is a composition technique that has been applied successfully in several areas of software development. In order to unify several languages and tools that rely on superimposition, we present an underlying language-independent model that is based on feature structure trees (FSTs). Furthermore, we offer a tool, called FSTComposer, that composes software components represented by F...

Systematic reuse of software artifacts can be achieved with software product lines, which represent a family of similar software systems. A variability model, e.g., feature model, describes their commonalities and variabilities and serves as a basis for a product configuration, i.e., the selection of features according to constraints defined in the model. These variability models can contain ad...
