Abstract

End User (EU) architectures for smart environments aim to enable end users to create and deploy software applications for their smart spaces. EU Software Product Lines (SPL) extend EU architectures for smart environments with product line support to promote reuse and software application portability. This paper describes a meta-modeling approach for developing EU SPLs for smart environments. We present a meta-model as the basis for developing a framework for creating EU SPLs and deriving EU applications. The meta-model is composed of platform independent and platform specific meta-models. This paper describes in detail both parts of the meta-model and discusses the relationships and mappings between them. This paper also presents the XANA EU SPL framework that was developed using the proposed platform specific meta-model and discusses XANA’s product line creation and application derivation process.
