초록

소프트웨어 제품 생산 라인(Software Product Line) 공학은 새로운 소프트웨어 개발 패러다임으로 각광받고 있다. SPL에 FORM(Feature-Oriented Reuse Method) 방법론을 적용하면, 휴대전화나 디지털TV 같이 공통점이 많은 제품군의 다양한 소프트웨어를 휘처 모델링을 통해 만들어진 재사용 가능하고 유연한 컴포넌트를 조합하여 생산해 낼 수 있다. 한편, MDA(Model Driven Architecture) 방법론은 PIM(Platform Independent Model) 을 통해 다양한 개별 플랫폼을 위한 소프트웨어를 생산할 수 있게 하는 새로운 기술을 제공한다. 위 두 가지 방법론의 장점을 조합하면 공통점을 공유하면서 다양한 플랫폼에서 동작하는 제품군의 소프트웨어를 생산하는데 도움이 된다. 이 논문에서는 FORM 방법론과 MDA 방법론을 조합하기 위해 먼저, 프로파일링 기법을 통해 UML2.0을 확장하여 FORM 아키텍처와 Parameterized Statechart 모델링이 가능하게 한다. 다음으로, 휘처가 휘처 모델과 Parameterized Statechart사이에서 일관성 있게 element의 형태로 위치하고 있는지 검증하는 일관성 규칙을 제공한다. 몇 가지 규칙은 FORM 아키텍처와 Parameterized Statechart 사이의 일관성을 검사하기 위해 고안되었다. 마지막으로, 엘리베이터 시스템의 사례연구를 통해 이 논문에서 제안하는 모델링 기법과 일관성 검사 법칙의 유효성을 제시한다.

The Software Product Line (SPL) engineering is one of the most promising software development paradigms. With Feature-Oriented Reuse Method (FORM), reusable and flexible components can be built to aid the delivery of various software products such as mobile phone and digital TV applications based on commonalities and variabilities identified during Feature modeling. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is also an emerging technology which supports developing software products to work on different platforms with platform independent models (PIM). Combining advantages of these two approaches is helpful to build a group of software products which share common Features while working on various platforms. As first step to combine FORM with MDA, we extend UML2.0 with profiles by which FORM architectures and parameterized Statecharts can be modeled. Secondly, we provide rules to examine whether Features are allocated at positions of elements of Statecharts consistently between a Feature model and a parameterized Statechart. Some rules are designed to check the consistency between FORM architectures and parameterized Statecharts. A case study on an elevator control system is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of our modeling approach and consistency checking rules.
