From Requirements to Architecture for Software Product Lines

Abstract

To ensure a consistent correlation between the requirements model and the architecture representation of Software Product Lines (SPL), this paper proposes an integration between goal models (described in PL-AOV-Graph) and architectural specification (described in PL-AspectualACME). We define the mapping process between these models and transformation rules between their elements. We also present a case study (e-commerce system), to evaluate the mapping process.
