Sistemas embarcados críticos (SEC) correspondem aos sistemas embarcados para aplicações críticas, que são aplicações nas quais falhas podem por vidas em perigo. A crescente imersão deste tipo de sistema em nossas atividades cotidianas aumentou sua demanda, e consequentemente, a necessidade por novas técnicas de desenvolvimento que possam aumentar a produtividade dos desenvolvedores. Linha de produtos (LP) é uma técnica de reúso, na qual famílias de produtos similares são desenvolvidos em conjunto, e portanto, objetiva-se o desenvolvimento em larga escala. Com a utilização de LP, pode-se reusar requisitos e arquitetura de forma sistemática. Entretanto, o reúso no domínio de sistemas embarcados críticos ainda é visto de forma cética. Por outro lado, o domínio de SEC tem obtido avanços de desenvolvimento por meio de técnicas orientadas a modelo. A Engenharia orientada a modelos (MDE) concentra-se na importância de modelos no ciclo de vida do sistema, tornando-os parte do produto final. Assim, mantêm-se os modelos simples, e a maioria da complexidade do software passa a pertencer às transformações, que podem ser obtidas automaticamente por motores de transformação. Isso ajuda a aumentar a qualidade do produto final, bem como facilitar a futura evolução do software, que poderá ser feita mudando-se os modelos de alto nível e obtendo-se, de forma automática, o novo produto. MDE é particularmente útil no domínio de SEC, pois a partir de modelos corretos do problema, a chance de introdução de erros durante a codificação é menor se geradores de aplicações forem utilizados em vez de codificação manual. Além disso, o aumento no nível de abstração proporcionado pelo MDE permite que técnicas de validação e verificação sejam usadas desde os estágios iniciais de desenvolvimento, tais como co-design e co-simulação. Portanto, este trabalho visa defender a tese de que é possível oferecer os benefícios do desenvolvimento em larga escala para o domínio de SEC e ainda continuar se beneficiando de técnicas de MDE. Para corroborar esta tese, define-se uma abordagem de desenvolvimento de linha de produtos de sistema com uso de técnicas de engenharia orientada a modelos para o desenvolvimento de famílias de sistemas embarcados críticos. Além disso, apresenta-se um estudo de caso de marca-passo elaborado segundo as indicações da abordagem proposta que indicam a viabilidade de sua utilização.

Safety-critical embedded systems (SCES) correspond to embedded systems for critical applications, i.e., applications where lives can be lost if they fail. The increasing immersion of this type of system in our daily activities increased their demand and, consequently, the need for new development techniques that can increase developers productivity. Product Line (LP) is a promising technique for reuse, in which families of similar products are developed together and, therefore, it aims at large-scale development. With the use of LP we can reuse requirements and architecture systematically. However, developers remain sceptical about reuse in the…

peer-reviewed

Feature dependency is a kind of feature interaction which can be observed in the features that realize the functionality of a software product, and particularly in the features of Software Product Lines (SPLs). In feature modelling for SPLs, common and variable features are organized both in terms of their structural dependencies (e.g., aggregation and specialization) and in terms of their configuration dependencies (e.g., excluded and required). These dependencies are essential but are not sufficient for developing reusable and adaptable SPL components. There are various other types of feature dependencies (e.g., runtime feature dependencies) that are responsible for implementing the behaviour of an end product. The aim of this research is to facilitate a software product line engineer to detect whether the latter types of feature dependencies have been implemented as specified and as intended. This thesis proposes and evaluates a four-step technique for consistency checking of runtime feature dependencies in SPL artefacts. The four-step process uses a domain-specific language developed for specifying the product line assets (i.e., features, interdependencies among the features and the implementation source code). The proposed technique uses existing reverse engineering techniques to perform a code-to-model transformation. Aspect-oriented (AO) pattern detection algorithms were developed that implement the runtime feature dependencies. The simple detection of AO-patterns does not guarantee that the behaviour is implemented as intended. Model validation constraints are then applied to provide feature dependency related feedback to a product line engineer. The key contributions of this thesis are: (i) the extension of previous work on the modularization of runtime feature dependencies, by providing a technique for consistency checking of runtime feature dependencies at various abstraction levels, (ii) the theoretical contribution in the form of a model-driven technique based on round-trip engineering (RTE), (iii) a plug-in based prototype realizing the proposed model-driven technique and (iv) a validation mechanism inspired by a technique called mutation testing which is applied using an existing product line case study.

▼ The number and complexity of the systems realizing the functionality of the machines in the automotive domain are growing. In this arises the need for a systematic way to manage their development. As the technologies advance, the vehicles introduce an increasing range of capabilities. However, they have similar functions, which have the potential to be reused. One of the widely used approaches that manages the commonality and variability of the development artifacts in a systematic manner is Product Line Engineering (PLE). Consequently, PLE reduces the time to market and the development cost. The machines, realized in the automotive domain, interact with their operators and the surrounding environment. Possible malfunctions of the machines may introduce a risk of accidents with fatal consequences. Therefore, the products should be analyzed, developed and managed in a safe manner and certified according to different relevant safety standards like ISO 15998, ISO 61508 and ISO 26262. There is a diversity of functions in a Product Line (PL). Some of them are mandatory for all machines and others are optional for some models. This gives the opportunity to combine the functions in multiple configurations. However, not all combinations are possible due to dependencies among the functions. Furthermore, the configurations should be valid from a safety perspective, and the developed products should satisfy the requirements identified during the safety analysis. The above mentioned factors emphasize the need for explicit representation of the systems' characteristics, such as commonality and variability, functional dependencies and quality attributes. The purpose of the current work is to find an efficient way to satisfy this need. The scope of our research is limited to the automotive domain. In order to gain familiarity with the state of practice, we collaborated with Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) as an industrial partner. In particular, we: conducted an informal interview study with the practitioners,analyzed the requirements management tool used in Volvo CE and studied products typical for the domain in detail,examined the deliverables defined in the related domain specific safety standards. We gained knowledge on how variability is managed in an industrial context today, which safety aspects need to be considered and how functional safety artifacts are managed with regards to variability. We synthesized the characteristics that are explicitly represented during the development and safety certification of the products in a safety-critical product line. We identified the challenges that the practitioners meet today and the areas that need to be improved. As a result, we formulated evaluation criteria for search and assessment of possible solutions. Subsequently we searched in the literature for different modeling techniques, that are able to respond to the industrial needs, and found the following to be relevant in our…

Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) has been proven to reduce development and maintenance costs, improving the time-to-market, and increasing the quality of product variants developed from a product family via systematic reuse of its core assets. SPLE has been successfully used in the development of safety-critical systems, especially in automotive and aerospace domains. Safety-critical systems have to be developed according to safety standards, which demands safety analysis, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and assurance cases safety engineering artefacts. However, performing safety analysis, FTA, and assurance case construction activities from scratch and manually for each product variant is time-consuming and error-prone, whereas variability in safety engineering artefacts can be automatically managed with the support of variant management techniques. As safety is context-dependent, context and design variation directly impact in the safety properties changing hazards, their causes, the risks posed by these hazards to system safety, risk mitigation measures, and FTA results. Therefore, managing variability in safety artefacts from different levels of abstraction increases the complexity of the variability model, even with the support of variant management techniques. To achieve an effective balance between benefits and complexity in adopting an SPLE approach for safety-critical systems it is necessary to distinguish between reusable safety artefacts, whose variability should be managed, and those that should be generated from the reused safety artefacts. On the other hand, both industry and safety standards have recognized the use of model-based techniques to support safety analysis and assurance cases. Compositional safety analysis, design optimization, and model-based assurance cases are examples of techniques that have been used to support the generation of safety artefacts required to achieve safety certification. This thesis aims to propose a model-based approach that integrates model-based development, compositional safety analysis, and variant management techniques to support the systematic reuse and generation of safety artefacts in safety-critical software product line engineering. The approach contributes to reduce the effort and costs of performing safety analysis and assessment for a particular product variant, since such analysis is performed from the reused safety artefacts. Thus, variant-specific fault trees, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and assurance case artefacts required to achieve safety certification can be automatically generated with the support the model-based safety analysis and assurance case construction techniques.

Continuous technological development and increasing efficiency demands are driving products toward becoming more and more complex. For the aerospace industry - where the requirements for performance, safety and low environmental impact already are substantial - this means that more extensive quality assurance measures must be taken to ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of each individual component.However, to avoid that the work with quality improvement become too extensive and increase the product cost to unbearable levels it is necessary to have methods to prioritize and focus improvement efforts on the product features that matters most for fulfilling customer requirements. Therefore, the concept of Key Characteristics is used today, both in the aerospace and other industries; a term for those characteristics that have a significant impact on requirement compliance and whose outcomes at the same time are expected to vary considerably in manufacturing.The concept itself is similar among those who use it but the purpose of and methodology for identifying and managing Key Characteristics vary, even within the same industry. This thesis is therefore aimed to create a view of which factors that characterize an effective and efficient way for companies in the aerospace industry to work with Key Characteristics. The thesis involves a case study to create a framework for how companies within this industry work with Key Characteristics, a literature review to see which approaches are advocated by previous research and two benchmark studies to see examples of how Key Characteristics are used and handled in practice in industry.The results show that the work of Key Characteristics should meet three main criteria in order to be effective and efficient: • it must be clearly focused on the characteristics that have critical impact on customer requirements and at the same time considerable variation in production, • it should be initiated early in the product development process and then performed iteratively during the process of continuously reducing variation problems in manufacturing, and • it should identify Key Characteristics using both qualitative and quantitative tools to best capture all different kinds of requirements on the product.Finally a practical example is given of how the work with Key Characteristics should look like at GKN Sweden AB, the case study company in the aerospace industry, to effectively minimize the costs associated with production variation, and yet satisfy all customer requirements.

▼ A large number of companies, especially in the automotive, electronics, aerospace and defense domains, develop a portfolio of closely related software products designed to satisfy similar, yet not identical, needs of their customers (a.k.a. a software product line). Even though numerous software product line engineering approaches promise to ease the product line development and maintenance effort, in practice, the adoption of such approaches is still limited. Instead, products are often established ad-hoc, e.g., by copying existing variants and modifying them to fit the requirements of a new customer or market segment.In this thesis, we investigate the reuse culture in organizations that employ cloning to realize their product lines. By analyzing development activities in several industrial product lines, we show that an efficient management of clones relies on both (1) the unification of the cloned variants into single-copy representations promoted by product line engineering methods and (2) the construction of a management infrastructure on top of existing variants, which allows to mitigate the shortcomings of cloning while leveraging its benefits. These two directions, in fact, coexist and complement each other within a single organization during the transition from ad-hoc to managed reuse~ – a process that usually takes several years. Based on empirical evidence, we build the foundations for the management of cloned product variants, contributing a framework that specifies a set of conceptual operators required for variant maintenance and evolution. We show that these operators provide the necessary building blocks that can be composed to realize complex scenarios related to the management of clones, during both the unification and the maintenance of existing variants. We discuss possible implementations of the operators, mapping them to existing work when available. We also provide implementation for some of the missing functionality, and identify opportunities for future research.We believe that the operator-based view promoted by this work provides a systematic approach for understanding the required, existing and missing functionality. It thus transforms the effort of introducing managed reuse in organizations that employ cloning from opportunistic to predicted, controlled and reproducible. Our work supports both researchers and practitioners interested in improving reuse practices in families of related products, promoting an incremental and staged transition from ad-hoc to well-managed reuse.

▼ The need for product safety regulation is no longer a source of debate. It should be the primary aim in any consumer protection policy. This is due to the fact that there are a lot of consumer goods that are heterogeneous and more technologically advanced that are continually being introduced to consumers. Cosmetic products are currently one of the most popular consumer products. Their increase in sales is evident globally including in developing countries. They are no longer solely associated with women but are being used by all people, of all ages. With such popularity, cosmetics producers are eager to make a profit, which sometimes has resulted in the introduction of cosmetics which are not safe and cause adverse effects. This suggests that there might be a loophole in the adequacy of the safety laws or regulations. The possibility of these safety issues occurring anywhere is generally acknowledged, which makes it a global issue. Although such cases are not as frequent as for other consumer goods such as foods or pharmaceuticals, there is a need to investigate the cosmetics safety mechanisms in order to see if consumers are adequately protected and if the safety mechanisms for cosmetics are efficient. In realising this aim, the study takes three jurisdictions to compare, namely the EU, the USA and Malaysia. Through analysis, the ideal features of cosmetics regulations based on the larger picture of safety regulation generally are also considered. This study contrasts the EU and Malaysia, that have in place government regulation of cosmetics, with the USA that has a different regime for cosmetics, more dependent on self-regulation. Out of the three, Malaysia is the newest country that has introduced a new law on cosmetic products and this has been adopted from the EU model. Although discussions on cosmetic regulations have been undertaken in Malaysia, the legal safety issues to which they give rise have not been investigated systematically in comparison with the EU and the USA. Even in these jurisdictions cosmetics safety is not discussed as much as other consumer products. This thesis also investigates why Malaysia has adopted the EU policy and not some other policy such as the American one. Once the above issues have been considered, the impact of the new emerging technology of nano-cosmetics is analysed. The thesis found that, Malaysia, as with any newly introduced system, has experienced some setbacks and encountered teething problems due to a lack of resources, structure, technical facilities and qualified personnel. However, as a developing nation, it certainly has benefited from the adoption of the EU system. Although there is still much room for improvement, this borrowing has benefited consumers, in so far as safety is concerned, because of the common and standard safety assessments and the responsibility of safety now being placed on the manufacturers. Consumers can also enjoy more products due to the elimination of trade barriers through free movement and cooperation between member states

▼ Embedded systems exists everywhere around us and the number of applications seems to be ever growing. They are found in electrical devices from coee machines to aircrafts. The common denominator is that they are designed for the specic purpose of the application. Some of them are used in safety critical systems where it is crucial that they operate correct and as intended in order to avoid accidents that can harm humans or properties. Meanwhile, general purpose Commercial O The Shelf (COTS) devices that can be found in the retail store, such as smartphones and tablets, has become a natural part of everyday life in the society. New applications are developed every day that improves everyday living, but numerous are also coupled to specic devices in order to control its functionality. Interaction between embedded systems and the exible devices do however not come without issues. Security, safety and ethical aspects are some of the issues that should be considered. In this thesis, a case study was performed to investigate the feasibility of using mobile COTS products in interaction with safety critical systems with respect to functional safety. Six user scenarios were identied for investigation, which could be of interest for industrial applications; The operator presented live machine data, The operator controlling the machine remotely, The service technician using mobile device in maintenance, service technician reading machine logs from the oce, the production manager analyzing machine productivity logs from the oce and the software manager uploading software. Restrictions in the functional safety standard, IEC 61508, and the characteristics of COTS devices, leads to the conclusion that real time interaction with safety systems is not allowed if the certication is to be preserved. Extracting information used to analyze the system where data is only sent from the machine would be allowed. All scenarios where the machine sends data to the user, and the data is only used as information, are hence allowed if isolation properties are guaranteed. A prototype system was designed and parts of it were implemented to show how sending and logging information can be performed using the company developed communication platform Data Engine.

▼ La Ingeniería de Líneas de Productos Software -Software Product Line Engineerings (SPLEs) en inglés- es una técnica de desarrollo de software que busca aplicar los principios de la fabricación industrial para la obtención de aplicaciones informáticas: esto es, una Línea de productos Software -Software Product Line (SPL)- se emplea para producir una familia de productos con características comunes, cuyos miembros, sin embargo, pueden tener características diferenciales. Identificar a priori estas características comunes y diferenciales permite maximizar la reutilización, reduciendo el tiempo y el coste del desarrollo. Describir estas relaciones con la suficiente expresividad se vuelve un aspecto fundamental para conseguir el éxito. La Ingeniería Dirigida por Modelos -Model Driven Engineering (MDE) en inglés- se ha revelado en los últimos años como un paradigma que permite tratar con artefactos software con un alto nivel de abstracción de forma efectiva. Gracias a ello, las SPLs puede aprovecharse en granmedida de los estándares y herramientas que han surgido dentro de la comunidad de MDE. No obstante, aún no se ha conseguido una buena integración entre SPLE y MDE, y como consecuencia, los mecanismos para la gestión de la variabilidad no son suficientemente expresivos. De esta manera, no es posible integrar la variabilidad de forma eficiente en procesos complejos de desarrollo de software donde las diferentes vistas de un sistema, las transformaciones de modelos y la generación de código juegan un papel fundamental. Esta tesis presenta MULTIPLE, un marco de trabajo y una herramienta que persiguen integrar de forma precisa y eficiente los mecanismos de gestión de variabilidad propios de las SPLs dentro de los procesos de MDE. MULTIPLE proporciona lenguajes específicos de dominio para especificar diferentes vistas de los sistemas software. Entre ellas se hace especial hincapié en la vista de variabilidad ya que es determinante para la especificación de SPLs. Advisors/Committee Members: Ramos Salavert, Isidro (advisor).

▼ Background: Natural health products (NHP) are widely used by the public. Since NHPs are pharmacologically active products, their ability to cause adverse reactions (AR) is present and well-documented. Currently employed passive surveillance systems are not well-equipped to detect NHP adverse events (AE) due to issues with significant underreporting, lack of patient disclosure of NHP use to health care providers and patients not attributing an AE to a NHP due to their perception of safety with these products. Other types of surveillance systems, such as active surveillance, may be more appropriate to detect NHP AEs as increased detection has been documented with these systems. Pharmacists are well-trained to screen for NHP use and AEs, including interactions between health products. Once an AE is detected, causality assessment is required to determine if there is a causal link between a health product and the AE. Currently, no causality tools are available, or take into consideration, the evaluation of AEs involving NHPs. Methods: The work for this thesis was derived from two studies. The first study involved the implementation of active surveillance into community pharmacies to screen for the proportion of patients taking prescription drugs and/or NHPs, as well as their respective AE rates. All AEs reported by patients who consented to, and were available for, a detailed telephone interview were adjudicated fully to assess for causality. The second study involved developing, piloting and refining an adjudication process and subsequent causality assessment tools to be used to assess AEs; these process and tools were modified for inclusion of NHP-specific factors. Important case reports resulting from the screening and causality assessment were used to translate knowledge to pharmacists. Results: We screened 1118 patients screened in 10 community pharmacies across Alberta and British Columbia, and obtained reports of 54 AEs. Of the 657 (58.8%; 95% CI: 55.5-61.6) patients who took prescription drugs and NHPs concurrently, 48 (7.3%; 95% CI: 5.6% to 9.6%) reported an AE. This AE rate is 6.4 times (OR; 95% CI: 2.5 – 16.2; p<0.001) greater than those who took prescription drugs alone. On a national level, combined with data from Ontario, Canada, 45.4% (95% CI: 43.8%-47.0%) of Canadians that visit community pharmacies take NHPs and prescription drugs concurrently and of those, 7.4% (95% CI: 6.3%-8.8%) report an AE. Three causality assessment scales, Naranjo, Horn and WHO-UMC, were modified to include the assessment of NHP AEs. The adjudication process and scales developed were piloted in 24 cases (patients reporting an AE with NHP use and available for a full interview) and were able to assess causality of all cases. The tools were then refined by the adjudication team until no further changes were deemed necessary. Two cases found through this process were submitted and will be published in a well-known national pharmacists’ journal to highlight the importance of the data found to practicing pharmacists. Conclusion: A…

▼ Many organizations specialize in the development of families of software systems, called software product lines (SPLs), for one or more domains (e.g., automotive, telephony, health care). SPLs are commonly developed as a shared set of assets representing the common and variable aspects of an SPL, and individual products are constructed by assembling the right combinations of assets. The feature-oriented software development (FOSD) paradigm advocates the use of system features as the primary unit of commonality and variability among the products of an SPL. A feature represents a coherent and identifiable bundle of system functionality, such as call waiting in telephony and cruise control in an automobile. Furthermore, FOSD aims at feature-oriented artifacts (FOAs); that is, software-development artifacts that explicate features, so that a clear mapping is established between a feature and its representation in different artifacts. The thesis first identifies the problem of developing a suitable language for expressing feature-oriented models of the functional requirements of an SPL, and then presents the feature-oriented requirements modelling language (FORML) as a solution to this problem. FORML's notation is based on standard software-engineering notations (e.g., UML class and state-machine models, feature models) to ease adoption by practitioners, and has a precise syntax and semantics to enable analysis. The novelty of FORML is in adding feature-orientation to state-of-the-art requirements modelling approaches (e.g., KAOS), and in the systematic treatment of modelling evolutions of an SPL via enhancements to existing features. An existing feature can be enhanced by extending or modifying its requirements. Enhancements that modify a feature's requirements are called intended feature interactions. For example, the call waiting feature in telephony intentionally overrides the basic call service feature's treatment of incoming calls when the subscriber is already involved in a call. FORML prescribes different constructs for specifying different types of enhancements in state-machine models of requirements. Furthermore, unlike some prominent approaches (e.g., AHEAD, DFC), FORML's constructs for modelling intended feature interactions do not depend on the order in which features are composed; this can lead to savings in analysis costs, since only one rather than (possibly) multiple composition orders need to be analyzed. A well-known challenge in FOSD is managing feature interactions, which, informally defined, are ways in which different features can influence one another in defining the overall properties and behaviours of their combination. Some feature interactions are intended, as described above, while other feature interactions are unintended: for example, the cruise control and anti-lock braking system features of an automobile may have incompatible affects on the automobile's acceleration, which would make their combination inconsistent. Unintended feature interactions should be detected and resolved. To…

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

In a software product line, a feature model represents the commonalities and variabilities among a family of software systems. Each valid combination of features authorized by a feature model corresponds to a possible product of the software product line. In feature-based product configuration, the desired features are selected from a feature model based on the customers’ requirements, but the selected features must satisfy the selection constraints specified in the feature model. In practice, two problems arise as the major obstacles of using feature models in product configuration. Firstly, a feature model may have errors which must be resolved for the effective product configuration. The feature model validation aims to identify the feature model errors and provide explanations for each identified error. The current validation approaches transform a feature model into a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) and use solvers to reason on the CSP. However, the use of solvers might take an infeasible amount of time for validating large-scale feature models, as CSP exhibits the exponential complexity and requires a combination of heuristics and combinational search methods. A more efficient feature model validation approach is needed. Another problem is to assess the product quality in feature-based product configuration. In software development, the product quality is mostly handled until the final product is generated and tested. However, if the final product cannot satisfy the customers’ quality requirements, it will be very costly to fix the problems. Therefore, the product quality should be assessed in feature-based product configuration which is considered as the first stage of deriving valid products. To achieve this aim, the quality attributes must be modelled in a feature model. The current quality attributes modelling approaches have several limitations, such as requiring real products which are difficult to obtain or involving onerous human efforts. A systematic quality attributes modelling approach is needed to reduce the efforts involved in domain experts’ judgments. This research aims to address the above problems. First, I developed an efficient validation approach based on the contradictory feature relationships behind the errors. As the contradictory feature relationships were found based on feature relationship propagation, the solvers were not required by this approach. Second, I developed a quality attributes modelling approach which uses domain experts to make judgments and uses analytic hierarchical process to reduce the efforts involved in the judgments. A knowledge database called quality attribute knowledge base is generated to maintain the captured quality knowledge. Finally, I enhanced the feature-based product configuration with the captured quality knowledge. A desired product is configured from a feature model in a quality-aware manner. A prototype tool was developed to implement the concepts of the proposed approaches and a set of…

Masters Research - Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

In software engineering, quality evaluation and achievement are difficult tasks because of the complexity of the software systems. Software reuse is one of the most promoted ways to improve software quality. Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is a newly established reuse-based paradigm, which has been well-recognised by the industry. SPLE has been successfully applied by the companies such as HP, Philips, Siemens, TomTom and so on. Instead of developing individual software products from scratch, SPLE aims to develop a set of similar software systems which share commonalities within a particular application domain. In software product lines (SPLs), reusable assets are developed from the beginning with the view that they will be used in other similar software products. Once they have been successfully developed, the individual product development follows a rigorous customization process. Quality-related issues for product lines, on both requirement and architectural levels, are the main focus of my research. To enhance quality-oriented product configuration, we have proposed an approach of measuring the contributions of software features to quality attributes. Features are compared in a pair-wise fashion, and the result is used to generate a ranking list, in which is indicated the relative importance of features to software quality achievement. The ranking list of features is able to greatly help software engineers to understand the factors that impact on final quality, thus assisting product configuration of SPLs. Additionally, the efficiency of feature-based configuration should also be improved, as configuration is normally a time-consuming and error-prone task. To improve the efficiency of configuration, we have taken into account of the dependencies between features, and adapted some classical algorithms to reduce errors and rollbacks possibly occuring in the product configuration. We have also considered quality issues in the process of software product line architecture development. A quality-oriented architectural framework has been proposed to specify various views and components composition for improving the quality awareness at the architectural level. We believe that software quality should be emphasised and modelled throughout the whole process of SPL development, rather than been focused on in a particular phase in the development. We have proposed an aspect-oriented SPL framework, in which we have introduced aspect-oriented modelling for both feature modelling and reference architecture design. The proposed framework is expected to model the impact of the nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) better, and to deal with software quality from requirement engineering to architecture design in a systematic way in SPL development.
