“…b) Research into design, architecture, and product family specific architecture patterns [5,6,3] provided for systematic reuse concepts and guidelines for the design of applications, but did not address systematic reuse concepts for application reconfiguration. c) Research into reusable and configurable product family architectures [1,2,4,12,6,8] provided for product family engineering and product family architecture configuration design methods, tools, and software engineering environments, but did not address dynamic software reconfiguration.

Abstract. This paper describes an approach for the dynamic reconfiguration of software product families. A software reconfiguration pattern is a solution to a problem in a software product family where the configuration needs to be updated while the system is operational. It defines how a set of components participating in a software pattern cooperate to change the configuration of a system from one configuration of the product family to another. An approach for the design of reconfiguration patterns and a change management model for software product families are also described. The paper concludes with a description of case studies and a proof-of-concept prototype.

“…Birk et al [5] stress that an organization dealing with SPLA should describe the architecture using wellestablished notations such as the UML, and the architectural description should cover all relevant views and use clearly defined semantics. Gomma and Shin [19] describe a multiple-view meta-modeling approach for SPLs using the UML notation. Zuo et al [44] present the use of problem frames for product line engineering modeling and requirements analysis.…”

Abstract:Software architecture has been a key research area in the software engineering community due to its significant role in creating high quality software. The trend of developing product lines rather than single products has made the software product line a viable option in the industry. Software product line architecture is regarded as one of the crucial components in the product lines, since all of the resulting products share this common architecture. The increased popularity of software product lines demands a process maturity evaluation methodology. Consequently, this paper presents an architecture process maturity model for software product line engineering to evaluate the current maturity of the product line architecture development process in an organization. Assessment questionnaires and a rating methodology comprise the framework of this model. The objective of the questionnaires is to collect information about the software product line architecture development process. Thus, in general this work contributes towards the establishment of a comprehensive and unified strategy for the process maturity evaluation of software product line engineering. Furthermore, we conducted two case studies and reported the assessment results, which show the maturity of the architecture development process in two organizations.

Towards automatic derivation of a product performance model from a UML software product line model

Software Product Line (SPL) engineering is a software development approach that takes advantage of the commonality and variability between products from a family, and supports the generation of specific products by reusing a set of core family assets. This paper proposes a UML model transformation approach for software product lines to derive a performance model for a specific product. The input to the proposed technique, the "source model", is a UML model of a SPL with performance annotations, which uses two separate profiles: a "product line" profile from literature for specifying the commonality and variability between products, and the MARTE profile recently standardized by OMG for performance annotations. The source model is generic and therefore its performance annotations must be parameterized. The proposed derivation of a performance model for a concrete product requires two steps: a) the transformation of a SPL model to a UML model with performance annotations for a given product, and b) the transformation of the outcome of the first step into a performance model. This paper focuses on the first step, whereas the second step will use the PUMA transformation approach of annotated UML models to performance models, developed in previous work. The output of the first step, named "target model", is a UML model with MARTE annotations, where the variability expressed in the SPL model has been analyzed and bound to a specific product, and the generic performance annotations have been bound to concrete values for the product. The proposed technique is illustrated with an e-commerce case study.
