Title
Towards business application product lines
Abstract
With continued increase in business dynamics, it is becoming increasingly harder to deliver purpose-specific business systems in the ever-shrinking window of opportunity. Code-centric software product line engineering (SPLE) techniques show unacceptable responsiveness as business applications are subjected to changes along multiple dimensions that continue to evolve simultaneously. Through clear separation of functional concerns from technology, model-driven approaches enable easy delivery of the same functionality into multiple technology platforms. However, business systems for same functional intent tend to have similar but non-identical functionality. This makes a strong case for bringing in SPLE ideas i.e., what can change where and when, to models. We propose an abstraction that aims to address composition, variability and resolution in a unified manner; describe its model-based realization; and outline the key enablers necessary for raising business application product lines. Early experience of our approach and issues that remain to be addressed for industry acceptance are highlighted.
