Abstract

Although there has been significant research spent on feature modeling and application-oriented customization and some effective methods have been proposed, product derivation in SPL (Software Product Line) development is still a time- and effort-consuming activity due to the complicated mapping between feature model and program implementation. In this paper, we propose a feature implementation modeling based method for product derivation. In the method, feature implementation model is introduced as the intermediate level between feature model and program implementation. The feature implementation model captures feature interactions (including cross-cutting interactions) in the finer role level, and help to clarify the complex mapping between feature and program implementation. So, feature-driven program-level customization and configuration can be enabled by the model and role instantiation. AOP (Aspect-Oriented Programming) is adopted as the implementation technology for product derivation on the program level. Then program-level composition can be implemented by aspect weaving to finally achieve the feature-driven product derivation.
