“…Since DATAM is graphics‐oriented and each operational basic unit is obtained from AltaRica so that the GUI operation is equivalent to writing AltaRica code, obviously, the essential point is to extract key elements from AltaRica reasonably and transform them into model components. A composite component is constructed by composing preconstructed components (from the repository) by means of pre‐defined composition connectors and adapters 22 . Therefore, the reasonable solution is to extract the atomic elements of AltaRica and convert them to model components.…”

Dependability analysis is the main method to evaluate the design of safety-critical systems, which is able to analyze the source of the faults and find them as early as possible. With the increasing system scale and complexity, Model-Based Dependability Analysis (MDBA) has become the mainstream, so that it is crucial to provide powerful models that accurately reflect the real systems and easy to be built. However, modeling a system is error-prone and it is difficult to verify the correctness of the model being built. Therefore, this paper proposes our dependability modeling tool called DATAM (Dependability Analysis Tool of AltaRica Model), which is based on AltaRica, a dataFlow language. We present a method for converting key elements of AltaRica into model/GUI components, thereby ensuring the consistency of the model with the modeling language. GUI-based operations and rich custom components ensure ease of using DATAM. Besides, some components of the model can be edited directly through the AltaRica script and can be interchanged with GUI components. Finally, DATAM supplies varieties of reliability calculation functions. We demonstrate the ability of DATAM through a case study and compare the results with SimFia education version.

“…Our approach is to use a component model [19] that can be used to model and construct product families, rather than single products. We have defined and implemented such a component model, called FX-MAN [20], as a Model-driven Engineering tool [21] for developing families of componentbased systems. 1 Here we will show how FX-MAN can be used 1 A full account of FX-MAN is not necessary here.…”

In Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE), in the problem space, variability in a product family is specified in an enumerative manner (by a feature model), i.e. all valid variants are enumerated. However, in the solution space, current SPLE approaches use parametric variability (variability parameterised on features occurring in a single product variant) instead. In this paper, we take a closer look at enumerative variability, show how it can also be used in the solution space, and briefly discuss why it may be advantageous to do so.

Abstract-In software product line engineering, the construction of an ADL architecture for a product family is still an outstanding engineering challenge. An ADL architecture for a product family would define the architectures for all the products in the family, allowing engineers to reason at a higher level of abstraction. In this paper, we outline a component model that can be used to define architectures for product families, by incorporating explicit variation points.
