“…In the IT context, program management is used in software and application development (Caudill, 1977;Leveson and Weiss, 2004;Mäntyniemi et al, 2004), ERP implementation (Ribbers and Schoo, 2002) and IT infrastructure management (AlMashari and Zairi, 2000). For technology product and service companies, greater program and project management capabilities are required to address competence risks, especially when they become custom solution providers for their clients (Sawhney, 2004).…”

“…Prior work in software safety [8] and in reuse for safety-critical systems [9] has not dealt directly with SPLE safety analyses. On the other hand, prior work in SPLE has not addressed the additional, high-assurance needs of safety-critical SPLs [1] [13].…”

Abstract. The reuse of product-line assets enables efficiencies in development time and cost. Safety analysis techniques for Software Product-Line Engineering (SPLE) construct safety-related, non-code artifacts with the aim of reusing these assets for new product-line members. In this paper we describe results from the construction and reuse of a key safety-analysis technique, Product-line Software Fault Tree Analysis (PL-SFTA), and its supporting tool, PLFaultCAT. The main contribution of this work is the evaluation of PL-SFTA and PLFault-CAT for the reuse of safety analysis assets in a product line. The context is a safety-critical product line of spacecraft developed as a multi-agent system.Keywords: reusable safety analysis assets, safety aspects of reuse, product-line software fault tree analysis, multi-agent system product lines.

“…Despite the firm position taken by Redmill and Leveson with regard to the impact of software reuse, they both acknowledge the importance of getting "the benefits of reuse without the drawbacks" [3] through "an increasing need for care (and guidance)" [5]. We believe that reuse can be more systematic if it is planned from early development stages.…”

“…Establishing a traceable link between the requirements, design, and the reusable code can enable the deployment of the reusable software in an effective and analysable way. Therefore, reuse should be addressed holistically, rather than being limited to the code, where most reuse attempts have failed [3].…”

The introduction of a software product line may pose a great organizational challenge in the domain of highintegrity systems. Project and technical managers within an organization need to be assured that the reusable assets of a product line are reliable and trustworthy, particularly when project teams do not have full control over the development of these assets. In this paper we report on our experience with the establishment of a software product line for an aerospace Engine Monitoring Unit (EMU). Specifically, we report on challenges encountered with the configuration management and certification of EMU products derived from the product line. These two areas are still to be addressed adequately by the product line community as they are central for the management of product line assets across different projects within an organization.
