Dynamic large scale product lines through modularization approach

Software product line (SPL) now faces major scalability problems because of technical advances of the past decades. However, using traditional approaches of software engineering to deal with this increasing scalability is not feasible. Therefore, new techniques must be provided in order to resolve scalability issues. For such a purpose, we propose through this paper a modularization approach according to two dimensions: In the first dimension we use Island algorithm in order to obtain structural modules. In the second dimension we decompose obtained modules according to features binding time so as to obtain dynamic submodules. Copyright © 2015 SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications.
