Product Line Engineering (PLE) has been widely accepted as a representative software reuse methodology by using core assets. Product line architecture (PLA) is a key element of core assets. However, current research works on designing PLA do not provide sufficient and detailed guidelines of defining PLA and reflecting variability in the architecture. In this paper, we present a reference model of PLA and propose a process to design PLA with detailed instructions. Especially architectural variability is codified by describing decision model depending variation points and traced through PLA activities. The proposed process would make it feasible to apply PLE to practice areas.

소프트웨어 개발 단계 초기에 소프트웨어 제품군에 속하는 멤버들의 공통정과 차이점들을 미리 예측하고 분석하여 단위가 크고 전략적인 형태의 재사용을 가능하도록 함으로써 궁극적으로 소프트웨어 개발의 생산성을 향상시키고자 하는 것이 소프트웨어 프로덕트 라인 개발 방법론의 목적이다. 최근에는 소프트웨어 프로덕트 라인 개발에 자동 생성 프로그래밍 기법을 적용하기 위한 연구가 진행 중이다. 그런데, 어플리케이션 단위의 프로덕트 라인 개발 방법론은 단위가 너무 커서 자동 생성 기법을 효율적으로 적용하기가 힘들며, 따라서 그 초점을 컴포넌트 단위로 한정시킬 필요가 있다 본 논문에서는 도메인 공학의 주요 산물인 특성 다이어그램으로부터 특정 컴포넌트의 요구사항을 나타내는 특성 구성(Feature Configuration)을 만들고, 이를 바탕으로 컴포넌트 코드를 자동 생성하는 도구를 구현하였다. 본 논문의 컴포넌트 재구성 자동화 도구는 재사용자의 요구에 맞는 컴포넌트 소스 코드를 자동 생성함으로써 소프트웨어 프로덕트 라인 개발 생산성을 향상시킨다.

프로덕트 라인 공학에서 프로덕트 라인 아키텍처는 가장 중요한 산출물 중에 하나이다. UML (Unified Modeling Language) 2.x 부터는 아키텍처를 모델링하기 위한 유용한 모델링 요소를 제공하고 있다. 이러한 UML을 이용하여 프로덕트 라인 아키텍처를 모델링하기 위해서는 가변성의 표현이 명시적으로 이루어져야 하지만, UML 자체에는 가변성을 표현하기 위한 방법 및 기법을 명시적으로 기술하고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 UML에서 제공하는 확장 메커니즘을 이용하여 가변성을 표현하는 방법을 제안한다. 즉, 모델링요소에 태그값(Tagged Value) 및 스테레오타입을 넣어주어 다양한 관점에서의 가변성을 표기하는 방법을 제안한다.

Variability of the software product line that differentiates member products within a product line must be described with precise meaning and visualized so as easy to select. Moreover, it should be easy to manage. Variability description approaches can largely be divided into two approaches, integrated variability description approach and orthogonal variability description approach. Orthogonal Variability Description Language (OVDL) was developed for clear and precise description of variability without ambiguity. This paper validates the variability description capability of OVDL by translating the variability models of Inter-Working Function (IWF) product line described by using Orthogonal Variability Model (OVM) notations into variability descriptions in OVDL.

Product Line Engineering (PLE) has been widely accepted as a representative software reuse methodology by using core assets. As a key element of core assets, product line architecture (PLA) should be generic to a set of applications in the product line (PL). However, the difference between PLA and single system architecture has not been treated well enough, so evaluating PLA still remains as one of the difficult tasks in PLE. In this paper, we identify two intrinsic but overlooked issues in PLA; variability propagation chain and conflicts between architectural elements. And, we present a metric-based methodto evaluate PLA from the perspective of the two issues. We believe that the two issues in PLA and the evaluation method would make designing high-quality PLA more feasible and effective.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) application S/W has a complex characteristic that it controls various kind of sensor nodes organically based on the core modules of various target operating systems. Currently, various researches for efficient S/W development are being performed in USN application field. In order to increase S/W productivity, the method such as product line development approach to specify core common functions of applications according to the domain and develop applications with the core common functions and variant functions selected according to the workflow of applications is efficient. To apply this approach to the USN domain, characteristics of USN application S/W and product line development should be specified with one consistent view. However, it is difficult to efficiently specify the characteristics using general UML notations. In order to solve the problem, this paper proposes a method to effectively specify the characteristics of USN applications and product line development using UML profile which is the extension mechanism of UML. The proposed UML profile for produce line based USN application development enables developers to effectively develop product line based USN applications using existing UML and UML support tools without new design methods or tools which are specified for USN or product line development.

In a feature modeling, problems such as ambiguities, interpretation errors, incompleteness, etc caused by informal specification occur in the modeling phase. Therefore, feature specification method and processes are suggested in this paper to resolve these problems. The structure and language of feature modeling is defined in this paper to specify various features. First, this feature model is abstracted in the meta-level to get predicates and attributes. Formal feature model specification method is proposed using multi-paradigm language. Second, Feature specification process is proposed to describe how to specify feature formally. And third, Feature interaction management is defined to solve the problems caused between specified features. Finally, the proposed feature specification method is applied to Distributed Meeting Scheduler System domain.

Software product line engineering is an approach to creating core assets by systematically exploits common that can be highly reusableand different characteristics in related system families that is domain. By adapting this approachin object and component paradigm, software productivity is extended. Recently, Software development paradigm is changed to service oriented paradigm which is using services that are core assets. Therefore, to develop service oriented software more flexible, systematic and to enhance business agility about business changes, we need adaptation of product line to creation of services that are core assets. In this paper, we propose an approach to create and specify domain service through combine of product line and service oriented paradigm. Domain service explicitly specifies commonality and variability by domain service common/optional property variability, operation type variability, message type variability. By using this approach, it can support efficient and flexible service oriented development by producing various services through customization of domain service for the purpose.

Feature-oriented software product line engineering is to develop various products by developing product line core assets in terms of features and composing those features. However, the developed product may not behave correctly if the feature interaction problem has not be properly taken into account during the feature composition. This paper proposes techniques for identifying and modularizing undesirable feature interactions effectively. The scientific calculator product line is used for evaluating the applicability of the proposed method.
