Abstract

This paper identifies the requirements placed on software-system family architectures by the various stakeholders involved in software-system family development. The requirements are uncovered by analysing the roles of the various stakeholders in software-system family development. The stakeholders will have certain roles which pertain to the individual project/product and which are typical of all development paradigms. However, those in product family development will also have roles arising out of the fact that a family is being developed. An important task of the software-system family architecture is to support these family-related roles. The paper has a practical orientation, and concentrates on reporting research results. Further the paper provides an example of how the stakeholders and their roles may be allocated in a "real" organisation.
