Important aspects in dealing with software product lines are correctness, necessity, and efficiency. We present an open-source tool capable of producing minimal configurations for a specification in the Unified Modeling Language which allows us to model ...

This paper describes a dynamic software adaptation approach and environment for service-oriented product lines. The approach uses a dynamic feature model and product line architecture for a family of service-oriented architectures (SOA), in which a ...

Feature selections mining is the process of discovering potentially feature associations and constraints in data. Especially, mining from time-series data obtains feature constraint trends. In this paper, we describe an approach to evaluate feature ...

Following the dawn of autonomic computing, self-healing systems have been considered as an alternative to maintenance and evolution problems. In web-based applications, the uncertainty about the flux of users is a motivation for implementing a self-...

Software product line (SPL) engineering has proven to improve software quality and shorten costs and development time. An important aspect in the product line development process involves variability, which is the ability of a system for being ...

Software Product Line (SPL) has arisen as an approach for developing a family of software-intensive systems at lower costs, within shorter time, and with higher quality. In particular, SPL is supported by a product line architecture (sometimes also ...

Security and Dependability (S&D) have become mandatory requirements while engineering embedded systems in some industrial sectors. Typically, S&D requirements are developed ad-hoc for each system, preventing further reuse beyond domain-specific ...

Quality assurance and evaluation in Model Driven Software Product Lines (MD-SPLs) are pivotal points for the growing and solidification of the generative software factories. They are framed as one of the future fact methodologies for the construction of ...

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a new delivery model, whose basic idea is to provide applications to the customer on demand over the Internet. In contrast to older approaches SaaS promotes multi-tenancy as a tool to exploit economies-of-scale. This ...

Changing markets and environments has made the ability to rapidly adapt to these changes a necessity in software systems. However the costs of changing and adapting systems to new requirements still remains an unsolved issue. In this context service-...

Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Software Product Lines (SPL) have individually proven to be software engineering concepts that create added value to the development of software systems. Recently, the research community has recognized and ...

In the development of complex software systems, interactions between different program features increase the design complexity. Feature-oriented software development focuses on the representation and compositions of features. The implementation of ...

The United Nations Centre for Trace Facilitation and eBusiness (UN/CEFACT) provides a conceptual approach named Core Components for defining business document types based on generic, reusable building blocks. For facilitating interoperability in ...
