Abstract

Currently various techniques for efficiently developing sensor network applications are developed. However, these techniques provide the method for developing only single sensor network application easily and rapidly. Since sensor network applications control various sensor nodes based on core components of operating system, the technique to develop applications by defining common functionalities of various applications and selecting variable functionalities according to the work flow of specific application is efficient. Accordingly, this paper presents an experimental study that identifies commonality of sensor network application domain and supports optional development according to the variability of application by applying product line approach to developing sensor network application. Through the experimental study, we describe the characteristics of sensor network application domain compared with general business domain for product line development. Also, we show the effectiveness of the proposed approach by presenting that core assets designed using the proposed variability feature model and VEADL are reused according to the functionalities of each sensor node.

현재 센서 네트워크 응용 분야는 소프트웨어의 효율적 개발을 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 연구들은 대부분 단일 센서 네트워크 응용 소프트웨어를 쉽고, 빠르게 개발하기 위한 방법에 중점을 두고 있다. 그러나 센서 네트워크 응용 소프트웨어는 운영체제의 핵심 모듈을 기반으로 다양한 종류의 센서 노드들을 제어하는 특징을 가지므로, 다양한 센서 네트워크 어플리케이션의 핵심 공통 기능을 정의하고 특정 센서 네트워크 어플리케이션의 워크플로우에 따라 가변적인 센서 노드들의 다양한 기능을 취사 선택하여 개발하는 방법이 효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 특성에 따라 소프트웨어 프로덕트 라인 기법을 센서 네트워크 응용 소프트웨어 개발에 적용, 센서 네트워크 응용 소프트웨어 도메인의 공통성을 식별하고 어플리케이션의 가변성에 따라 선택적인 개발을 지원하는 개발 사례를 제시하였다. 제시하는 사례를 통하여 일반적인 비즈니스 도메인과 비교하여 센서 네트워크 응용 도메인의 프로덕트 라인 구축을 위한 특성을 살펴보고, 제시한 가변성 피처 모델과 VEADL을 통하여 설계한 센서 네트워크 응용 도메인의 핵심 자산이 각 노드의 기능에 따라 선택적으로 재사용되는 적용 효율성을 보인다.
