In modern software systems, software modellers often use different modelling languages and multiple views to describe the characteristics of a complex system. This multi-language system allows modellers to express a specific system characteristic with the most appropriate modelling languages and notations. With the proliferation of independently viii Scholarships & Aid, Gunter Mussbacher (advisor), Jörg Kienzle (advisor), and Christian Ejike Ali (brother) for their funding throughout my doctoral research work. During these years, I was fortunate to be part of the Software Engineering Lab at McGill. I worked with several amazing research students who also contributed significantly to the success of this research work. I express my deepest gratitude to Keheliya Gallaba for his friendship and cooperation, especially at the beginning of my program. Also, I especially want to thank Matthias Schöttle who equally offered detailed guidance, especially, on how to navigate the TouchCORE tool. I would like to thank Aprajita, Marton Bur, Ruchika Kumar, Rijul Saini, Omar Alam, Yanis Hattab, Rohit Verma, and many more for their valuable feedback, friendship, and for welcoming me to their respective laboratories. I would like to express my deep gratitude to my friends and family for their love, support, endurance, and understanding. I especially thank my elder brother Christian Ejike Ali, who oversees most of the funding, especially at the beginning of this program.In addition, I would like to deeply appreciate my wife, who bore a lot of burden because of this program. During this program, my wife was alone in Nigeria taking care of our children for more than two years. I also thank my children for their patience, especially for my inability to be with them as required due to this program.And finally, I want to thank my mother for her support, patience, and understanding throughout my education. She is a small businesswoman, but she often offers great financial support for my pursuit of education.

“…WeaFQAs was chosen because it follows the classical framework for SPL and incorporates additional requirements that can be found in current complex projects. Results of this work encompass from simpler SPLs [4,52] to complex SPL processes like WeaFQAs or the Concern-Oriented Reuse (CORE) approach [1].…”

The lack of mature tool support is one of the main reasons that make the industry to be reluctant to adopt Software Product Line (SPL) approaches. A number of systematic literature reviews exist that identify the main characteristics offered by existing tools and the SPL phases in which they can be applied. However, these reviews do not really help to understand if those tools are offering what is really needed to apply SPLs to complex projects. These studies are mainly based on information extracted from the tool documentation or published papers. In this paper, we follow a different approach, in which we firstly identify those characteristics that are currently essential for the development of an SPL, and secondly analyze whether the tools provide or not support for those characteristics. We focus on those tools that satisfy certain selection criteria (e.g., they can be downloaded and are ready to be used). The paper presents a state of practice with the availability and usability of the existing tools for SPL, and defines different roadmaps that allow carrying out a complete SPL process with the existing tool support.

“…Alternatively, some approaches to AOM rely on generating code targeting an aspect-oriented language (like AspectJ), and then rely on weaver provided by the target language to deal with crosscutting aspects [76]. Some approaches to AOM are related to a systematic identification of early aspects -already in the requirements and design phases -which then need to be expressed in notations for requirements, architecture and design [77,78]. In our case, advices are expressed either programmatically or using model management languages.…”

Open meta-modelling frameworks via meta-object protocols

Meta-modelling is central to Model-Driven Engineering. Many meta-modelling notations, approaches and tools have been proposed along the years, which widely vary regarding their supported modelling features. However, current approaches tend to be closed and rigid with respect to the supported concepts and semantics. Moreover, extending the environment with features beyond those natively supported requires highly technical knowledge. This situation hampers flexibility and interoperability of meta-modelling environments. In order to alleviate this situation, we propose open meta-modelling frameworks, which can be extended and configured via meta-object protocols (MOPs). Such environments offer extension points on events like element instantiation, model loading or property access, and enable selecting particular model elements over which the extensions are to be executed. We show how MOP-based mechanisms permit extending meta-modelling frameworks in a flexible way, and allow describing a wide range of meta-modelling concepts. As a proof of concept, we show and compare an implementation in the MetaDepth tool and an aspectbased implementation atop the Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF). We have evaluated our approach by extending EMF and MetaDepth with modelling services not foreseen initially when they were created. The evaluation shows that MOP-based mechanisms permit extending meta-modelling frameworks in a flexible way, and are powerful enough to support the specification of a broad variety of meta-modelling features.
