The SPLC2 will host four demonstrations. The demonstrations will be held Wednesday, August 21st, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Each demonstration will be approximately 1/2 hour in length.

 

Rumi: A Tool Environment for Managing Product Alternatives

Bedir Tekinerdogan,
University of Twente

Time: 5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Room: Point Loma B

 This demonstration presents the Rumi environment, which includes a set of tools for supporting the techniques of design space models (DSMs). DSMs provide a complementary technique to existing domain engineering and product line scoping techniques, to explicitly model and reason about domain alternatives. Design space modeling consists of a design space representation and semantic information for configuring and depicting the constraints on the alternatives.

MetaSyn (TM): A Family of Tools for Building Product Families

Grady Campbell,
Prosperity Heights Software

Time: 5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Room: Carmel

 This demonstration exhibits a progression of prototype tool parts and assemblies that support the construction and instantiation of software product families. The focus of this demonstration will be on notations and mechanisms for the direct and explicit representation of variability as an orthogonal attribute characterizing a product family. A secondary emphasis will be on the resulting ease of deriving varied instances from a properly defined family using MetaSynTM capabilities.

GEARS (TM): Commercial Engineering Infrastructure, Development Environment, and Product Generator Enabling Rapid Adoption of Software Mass Customization

Charles Krueger,
BigLever Software, Inc.

Time: 6:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Room: Point Loma B

 This demonstration illustrates the capabilities of BigLever Software GEARSTM, a commercially available technology that supports software product line engineering through “software mass customization.” The demo will benefit practitioners and managers with responsibility for establishing and maintaining software product lines as well as researchers interested in learning more about the practical issues of engineering software product lines.

Feature Analysis for Evolutionary Introduction of Software Product Lines

Daniel Simon and Thomas Eisenbarth,
University of Stuttgart

Time: 6:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Room: Carmel

 This demonstration shows an analysis of the graph-drawing tool, XFIG, using our feature analysis tools. Our tools analyze the monolithic legacy source code for product line initiation. The demonstration addresses mining and reengineering for product lines. Our tools guide developers through the legacy code in a feature-driven way. The results are produced by using the mathematically founded methods of "concept analysis.”
Demonstration Discussions

Time: 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Room: La Jolla
