Abstract

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.

프로덕트라인 공학은 여러 어플리케이션들이 공유할 수 있는 핵심자산을 사용하는 대표적인 소프트웨어 재사용 방법으로 넓게 수용되고 있다. 프로덕트라인 공학의 핵심자산의 중요한 구성요소로 프로덕트라인 아키텍쳐(Product Line Architecture, PLA)가 있다. 그러나 PLA에 대한 대부분의 연구는 재사용 자산으로서 공통성 및 가변성(C&V)에 대한 표현 및 설계에 대한 상세한 지침이 미비하다. 본 논문에서는 PLA 의 선계 프로세스와 상세 수준의 지침을 제안한다. 특히 PLA 가변성의 체계적인 정의를 위해 가변점의 종류에 대한 PLA 의사결정 모델(Decision Model)을 제시한다. 제안된 프로세스와 PLA가변성 정의로 프로덕트라인 공학의 효율적인 실무적 접근을 예상할 수 있다.
