Software product lines (SPL) are recently an emerging software reuse paradigm, which helps organizations develop their products from reusable core assets rather than from scratch. For developing these assets, understanding commonality and variability (C&V) is essential. A feature-oriented approach has been used extensively for C&V analysis in the SPL. However, this contains no proposal to systematically identify features and provide the rationale for the features. Further, the approach does not directly show how the results of C&V analysis will satisfy an organization's high-level business goals and provide the rationale for the C&V. Therefore, this paper presents a domain analysis method for the SPL based on goals, scenarios, and features in order to overcome some of the deficiencies and limitations of the feature-oriented approach. In particular, the paper proposes a domain requirements model (DRM) and a domain requirements modeling method based on the DRM. This method has been applied to the home integration system (HIS) domain to demonstrate its feasibility with a supporting tool, namely IDEAS. Our approach makes it possible to systematically identify the features and provide the rationale for both the features and the C&V.

모바일 콘텐츠 시스템을 편리하고 빠르게 생산하기 위해서는 프로덕트라인의 적용이 필요하며 공통성과 가변성을 식별하는 도메인 분석은 프로덕트라인 적용의 핵심이다. 그러나 현재 모바일 콘텐츠 시스템의 도메인 분석은 휘처 중심의 도메인 분석 방법(feature-oriented approach)을 이용하고 있어 성숙되지 않은 도메인이나 새로운 도메인의 경우 분석의 결과가 프로덕트라인 방식으로 생산하고자 했던 본래의 목표를 만족시키지 못하고 분석의 단계적인 절차를 제공하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존에 제시된 목표, 시나리오, 휘처 기반의 도메인 분석방법을 적용하는 방안을 제시하여 이러한 문제점을 해결한다.
