Abstract

In this paper we apply a certain kind of variability in KAOS goal and responsibility models: links can be conditioned depending on the choice of variants. These variants are grouped in facets and organized in a variant tree having a metagraph semantics: instances are all the goal/responsibility graphs generated when all variants are fixed. We use a case study from the land transportation domain: a simplified cycab (or cybercar) with some variants. The overall case study is part of the ANR TACOS project, whose final aim is to define a component-based approach to specify systems with high-level safety requirements.
