Abstract-In software product line engineering, the construction of an ADL architecture for a product family is still an outstanding engineering challenge. An ADL architecture for a product family would define the architectures for all the products in the family, allowing engineers to reason at a higher level of abstraction. In this paper, we outline a component model that can be used to define architectures for product families, by incorporating explicit variation points.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
