Abstract

In this paper, we explore the integration of product line and component technologies in the context of the product derivation process. In particular, we propose new extensions to our existing model-based product derivation tool, called GenArch, in order to address the new abstractions and mechanisms provided by the Spring and OSGi component models. The GenArch extensions enable the automatic instantiation of product lines and applications - implemented using these component technologies. Moreover, it also enables different levels of customization, from fine-grained configuration of component properties to the automatic selection of components that will compose the final product.
