We present a mechanism to derivate products of Software Product Lines (SPLs) using decision models. Our approach to create SPLs is based on Model Driven Engineering principles. It uses metamodels and model transformation programs, which are sets of ordered model transformation rules, to obtain concrete software artifacts departing from an initial model. It uses also feature models to express th...

Model transformations are a key element of model-based software development processes. Despite their importance, existing model transformation tools and processes have limited support for reuse, particularly, in the context of product line development that must handle variability among product variants. This forces developers to reinvent the transformation rules thereby adversely impacting thei...

A novel sedimentary transformation product of chlorophyll, purpurin-7 phytyl ester, has been identi®ed by atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation liquid chromatography mass-spectrometry in sediments from Lake Baikal, Russia, Loch Ness and Priest Pot, UK. This product of oxidative transformation is an intermediate on the transformation pathway leading to sedimentary aetioporphyrins and its occu...

Finland’s Slot Machine Association (RAY) has recently undergone a major transformation from a steady operator of slot machines to an agile innovator of new games and concepts. As a key part of this transformation, agile methods used in product development teams have been scaled up to the organizational level using Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). To help analyze the development in the organizatio...

Developing product software is getting increasing attention from both academics and practitioners. Organizations are recognizing the benefits and importance of developing a product for a market. Also, several software companies that develop customer-specific software have identified a need to change to developing and selling product software. Since few studies are available in this domain, it i...

new product development (npd) is described in the literature as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale [ ]. in the automotive industry, within the context of iso/ts (the automotive quality management system international standard), consists of three main phases such as planning, implementation and sales. there are also five sub phases called “planning”, “pr...

New product development (NPD) is described in the literature as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale [ ]. In the automotive industry, within the context of ISO/TS (the automotive quality management system international standard), consists of Three main phases such as planning, Implementation and sales. There are also five sub phases called “Plan...

We present FieSta, an approach based on Model-Driven Development ideas to create Software Product Lines (SPLs). In Model-Driven SPL approaches, the derivation of a product starts from a domain application model. This model is transformed through several stages reusing model transformation rules until a product is obtained. Transformations rules are selected according to variants included in con...

Once released to the environment, pesticides may be degraded by abiotic and biotic processes. While parent compounds are assessed in detail in many regulatory schemes, the requirements for the assessment of transformation products are less well developed. This study was therefore performed to explore the relationships between the toxicity of transformation products and their parent compounds an...
