SPLC 2009 - SPLC.net l Software Product Line Conferences

SPLC 2009 | The 13th International Software Product Line Conference
1. Introduction
- overview on product line scoping, analysis, and modeling in an architecturecentric
product line approach
- importance of a thoroughly planned product line as a key factor for successful
product line engineering and evolution
- key principles of product line requirements engineering
2. Scoping
- introduction to the PuLSE-Eco approach for scoping, which includes an overview
on the activities and key principles of scoping
- explanation on how to build up key artifacts (e.g., a product–feature matrix)
3. Product Line Analysis
- introduction to the PuLSE-CDA approach for product line analysis, which adds
product line specifics to existing requirements engineering approaches and notations
- overview of other approaches for product line analysis, such as FAST and FODA
4. Product Line Evolution
- overview of a model of software evolution that defines key concepts for
systematic reasoning on product line requirements volatility
- introduction to PLEvo-Scoping, a method based on such concepts, encompassing
its activities and a complete example of its usage
- integration with existing scoping approaches
This tutorial is based on our experience with product line engineering in many industrial
projects. It crystallizes the essence of the experience gained in those industrial projects and
combines it with our latest research in the area of evolution in product line requirements.
