VARIABILITY MANAGEMENT IN SOFTWARE PRODUCT LINES FOR DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS CONSTRUCTION

María Eugenia Cabello, Isidro Ramos

2008

Abstract

This paper presents software variability management in complex cases of Software Product Lines where two kinds of variabilities emerge: domain variability and application variability. We illustrate the problem by means of a case study in Decision Support Systems. We have death with the first one by using variability points that are captured using decision-tree techniques in order to select base architectures and the second one by decorating the base architectures with the features of the application domain. In order to present this variability management, we focus on the diagnostic domain, a special case of Decision Support Systems. A generic solution for the automatic construction of systems of this kind is given using our approach: Baseline Oriented Modeling (BOM).
