TLDR
This report will establish methods for performing a domain analysis and describe the products of the domain analysis process to illustrate the application of domain analysis to a representative class of software systems.Abstract:
: Successful Software reuse requires the systematic discovery and exploitation of commonality across related software systems. By examining related software systems and the underlying theory of the class of systems they represent, domain analysis can provide a generic description of the requirements of that class of systems and a set of approaches for their implementation. This report will establish methods for performing a domain analysis and describe the products of the domain analysis process. To illustrate the application of domain analysis to a representative class of software systems, this report will provide a domain analysis of window management system software.read more

Model Construction with External Constraints: An Interactive Journey from Semantics to Syntax
TL;DR: This work provides a semantics-based classification of interactive guided derivation of models and investigates concrete guidance algorithms for two kinds of modeling languages: a simple subset of class-diagram-like language and for feature models.

Automated extraction of product comparison matrices from informal product descriptions
Sana Ben Nasr,Guillaume Bécan,Mathieu Acher,João Bosco Ferreira Filho,Nicolas Sannier,Benoit Baudry,Jean-Marc Davril +6 more
TL;DR: A tool-supported process, based on term recognition, information extraction, clustering, and similarities, capable of identifying and organizing features and values in a PCM - despite the informality and absence of structure in the textual descriptions of products is described.

Applying design by contract to feature-oriented programming
TL;DR: This work presents and discusses five approaches to define contracts of methods and their refinements in FOP, and is a foundation for research on the analysis of feature-oriented programs.

Scoping software product lines: an analysis of an emerging technology
TL;DR: This paper seeks to analyze the existing body of knowledge on product line scoping, and provides a taxonomy of existing approaches on both a problem level and a solution level.

Linked Open Models
TL;DR: The paper proposes "Linked Open Models" as a possible additional step, whose aim is to enable users to externalize knowledge in the form of diagrammatic models - a type of content that is human-readable, as well as linkable in the way promoted by the Linked Data paradigm.

The entity-relationship model: toward a unified view of data
TL;DR: A data model, called the entity-relationship model, is proposed that incorporates some of the important semantic information about the real world and can be used as a basis for unification of different views of data: the network model, the relational model, and the entity set model.
A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks (Original Manuscript)
TL;DR: A model based on n-ary relations, a normal form for data base relations, and the concept of a universal data sublanguage are introduced and certain operations on relations are discussed and applied to the problems of redundancy and consistency in the user's model.

gIBIS: a hypertext tool for exploratory policy discussion
Jeff Conklin,Michael L. Begeman +1 more
TL;DR: The hypertext system described here, gIBIS (for graphical IBIS), makes use of color and a high-speed relational database server to facilitate building and browsing typed IBIS networks.
