A UML-BASED VARIABILITY SPECIFICATION FOR PRODUCT LINE ARCHITECTURE VIEWS

Liliana Dobrica, Eila Niemela

2008

Abstract

In this paper we present a rigorous and practical notation for specifying variability in product line architecture views expressed in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The notation has been used for the explicit representation of variations and their locations in software product line architectures based on a design method already established. The improvement consists in a service orientation of architectural models. The benefit of a more familiar and widely used notation facilitates a broader understanding of the architecture and enables more extensive tool support for manipulating it. The specification notation paves the way for the development of tools.
