TL;DR: The CRISTAL project as mentioned in this paper is a distributed scientific workflow system used in the manufacturing and production phases of HEP experiment construction at CERN, which uses a description driven approach, using meta-modeling techniques, to manage the evolving needs of a large physics community.
Abstract: CRISTAL is a distributed scientific workflow system used in the manufacturing and production phases of HEP experiment construction at CERN. The CRISTAL project has studied the use of a description driven approach, using meta- modelling techniques, to manage the evolving needs of a large physics community. Interest from such diverse communities as bio-informatics and manufacturing has motivated the CRISTAL team to re-engineer the system to customize functionality according to end user requirements but maximize software reuse in the process. The next generation CRISTAL vision is to build a generic component architecture from which a complete software product line can be generated according to the particular needs of the target enterprise. This paper discusses the issues of adopting a component product line based approach and our experiences of software reuse.
