“…According to the SEI framework for product line engineering [20], when SPL and SOA are combined, services are typically considered as assets in the product line, and products are derived from the assembly of such services. Examples of such a combination can be found in the works of [24], [2], [11]. We follow a similar approach for variability and its realization through modular components.…”

Nowadays, the software industry is faced with challenges regarding complexity, time to market, quality standards and evolution. To face those challenges, two strategies that are gaining interest both in academy and industry are Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Software Product Lines (SPL). While SOA aims at building applications from an orchestration of services, SPL consists in building a set of coreassets and a derivation strategy based on such assets. Adopting such approaches involves important challenges with regard to existing software artifacts that must be transformed in order to respect an architecture that focus on modularity and reuse. This paper presents an industrial experience of such transformation. We propose a non-intrusive reverse engineering process for the development of modular services obtained automatically from existing software artifacts, and a variability-driven derivation process to assembly products out of such services. To validate our approach, we have implemented the reverse engineering and derivation processes using real software JEE artifacts from a component framework of reusable functionalities in several different enterprise applications. The results show important benefits in terms of the development time and flexibility.

“…Contributions concerning the connection between SPLE and SOC are starting to emerge in the software engineering community [6], [10], [18], [19], [21], [22], [25] and a recent workshop series [13], [23], [24] has examined the connection between SOA and SPL approaches by studying how the two techniques can mutually benefit from each other. For instance, SOC systems can benefit from SPL's variability management approaches to identify and design services targeted to multiple SOC systems.…”

Abstract-We present a research agenda on an emerging topic in software engineering, namely the synergy between Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) and Service-Oriented Computing (SOC). Our proposal is to develop rigorous modelling techniques as well as analysis and verification support tools for assisting organisations to plan, optimise, and control the quality of software service provision, both at design time and at run time. We foresee a flexible engineering methodology according to which software service line organisations can develop novel classes of service-oriented applications that can easily be adapted to customer requirements as well as to changes in the context in which, and while, they execute. By superposing variability mechanisms on current languages for service engineering, based on policies and strategies defined by service providers, we envision the possibility of identifying variability points that can be triggered at run time to increase adaptability and optimise the (re)use of resources.

“…Salvodor et al [6] focused on a scenario in which different products from different product lines were combined to form a third product line. Helferich et al [7] compared SPL and SOA, and showed that both the methods are actually complementary. In any case, a further step is still needed to improve the benefits of their combined use.…”

“…Software product lines (SPLs) and service-oriented architectures (SOAs) are two concepts that are currently receiving much attention both in research and for practical application [1]- [3]. The feature model is an SPL tool that can be used for modeling the common variable requirements of a product in a software product line.…”

SUMMARYThis paper proposes a feature-based service identification method to improve productivity using a feature relationship; where a feature can express service properties. We define the distance measured between features by considering their selective (node) and relational (edge) attributes and present the service boundary concept. The result of an evaluation of the proposed method shows that it has higher productivity than existing methods.
