The initial vision associated with multimedia is to achieve user interfaces (UI) which are highly interactive, intelligent, usable, and entertaining. Although early multimedia applications did not always fulfill these expectations, today's applications come much closer towards this vision. Examples are Rich Internet Applications like Google Maps, Edutainment Systems, or new UIs in the context of Ubiquitous...
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) provides effective mechanisms for improving the modularity of feature implementations. However, as features in general are not independent of each other, changes in the implementation of one feature may cause changes to or side effects in the implementation of other features.We address this challenge by separating feature dependencies from feature implementations...
Feature modeling is an essential activity for modeling and managing the variability of a software product line. On the other hand, aspect-oriented programming provides effective means for modularizing feature implementation. Although current AOP tools (e.g., AJDT) provide a mechanism for switching aspect modules on and off to configure a product, this becomes infeasible in the context of large-scale...
This paper addresses variability in the domain of software-based control systems. When designing product lines of such systems, varying sensors and actuators have to be used and parameterized, which in turn requires adaptations in the behavior of the microcontroller. For efficient engineering these adaptations should be performed in an systematic and straightforward manner. We tackle these challenges...
Software product lines of industrial size can easily incorporate thousands of variation points. This scale of variability can become extremely complex to manage resulting in a product development process that bears significant costs. One technique that can be applied beneficially in this context is visualisation. Visualisation is widely used in software engineering and has proven useful to amplify...
Software product line engineering has emerged as a viable and important software development paradigm in the automotive industry. It allows companies to realise significant improvements in time-to-market, cost, productivity, and system quality. One major difficulty with software product line engineering is related to the fact that a product line of industrial size can easily incorporate thousands...
In this paper we study mobile home automation, a field that emerges from an integration of mobile application platforms and home automation technologies. In a conceptual introduction we first illustrate the need for such applications by introducing a two-dimensional conceptual model of mobility. Subsequently we suggest an architecture and discuss different options of how a user might access a mobile...
