Title : <br>
Dynamic Software Product Lines based on Service-Oriented
Architectures<br>
<br>
Description:<br>
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Software Product Lines
(SPL) are approaches to software development that both encourage
reuse of existing assets and capabilities rather than repeatedly
redeveloping them for new systems. These two approaches tend to be
used in the context of pervasive applications. The intent is that
organisations can capitalise on reuse to achieve desired benefits
such as productivity gains, decreased development costs, improved
time to market, and higher reliability. However, when SOA are
supposed to enable assembly, orchestration and maintenance of
enterprise solutions to quickly react to changing business
requirements, SPLs aim at systematically capturing and exploiting
commonality among a set of related systems while managing variations
for specific customers or market segments. The ever growing use of
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) now makes it possible to handle such
large and complex software constructions at a higher level of
abstraction, so that large scale software manipulations, such as
product derivations or system configurations can be automatically
generated from high level models. To cope with the constantly
evolving environment inherent to pervasive applications, these
models will be kept at runtime to support the continuous adaptation
process. This work will investigate innovative solutions to bridge
the gap between SOA and SPL through the use of MDE to produce
self-adaptive pervasive applications.<br>
