Architecture conformance analysis approach within the context of multiple product line engineering
(IEEE, 2014-04) Tekinerdoğan, Bedir; Çilden, E.; Erdoğan, Ö. Ö.; Aktuğ, O.
One of the important concerns in software product line engineering is the conformance of the application architecture to the product line architecture. Consistency with the product line architecture is important to ensure that the business rules and constraints that are defined for the entire product family are not violated. Usually, the conformance checking to the product line architecture is a manual and tedious process. A popular approach for ensuring architecture conformance is reflexion modeling which has been primarily used to check the consistency between the architecture and the code. In this paper we present an approach for product line conformance analysis based on reflexion modeling. We consider conformance analysis in product line engineering and extend our discussion to multiple product line engineering. Our study shows several important challenges regarding reflexion modeling within the context of product line engineering. © 2014 IEEE.

First international workshop on Multi Product Line Engineering (MultiPLE 2013)
(ACM, 2013-08) Moonen, L.; Acharya, M.; Behjati, R.; Tekinerdoğan, Bedir; Rabiser, R.; Kang, K. C.
In an industrial context, software systems are rarely developed by a single organization. For software product lines, this means that various organizations collaborate to provide and integrate the assets used in a product line. It is not uncommon that these assets themselves are built as product lines, a practice which is referred to as multi product lines. This cross-organizational distribution of reusable assets leads to numerous challenges, such as inconsistent configuration, costly and time-consuming integration, diverging evolution speed and direction, and inadequate testing. The MultiPLE workshop is aimed at discussing the challenges involved with the development and evolution of multi product lines and the assets used for their production. © 2013 Authors.

Multidimensional classification approach for defining product line engineering transition strategies
(Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2010) Tekinerdoğan, Bedir; Tüzün, E.; Şaykol, E.
It is generally acknowledged that the transitioning process to a product line engineering approach is not trivial and as such requires a planned transition process. Different classifications of transition strategies have been proposed in the literature. It appears that these classification schemes are usually based on a single dimension. However, the adoption of a transition strategy is dependent on various criteria and very often it is not easy to characterize the required transition strategy. An appropriate characterization of the transition strategy is important for carrying out the right transition activities and steps to provide an operational product line engineering approach. In this paper, we first provide a conceptual model for defining the concepts related to transition strategies and then propose a multi-dimensional classification approach that aims to provide a more complete view on transition strategies. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
