Abstract
Update of software usually equates disruption to a program's execution. However, such disruptions in the execution of applications that provide round-the-clock services is not desirable. Examples of such applications include multi-tier enterprise systems with which users may interact via distinct presentation tiers at the same time. Existing software updating systems do not operate in the enterprise applications, or they need most of the redeployment tasks to be performed manually. In this paper, we present a framework capable of Automatically Redeploying Enterprise Software Applications (ARESA). This system combines the idea of incremental and integral updates to preserve the consistency of...

A feature model based framework for refactoring software product line architecture
, Article Journal of Computer Science and Technology ; Volume 31, Issue 5 , 2016 , Pages 951-986 ; 10009000 (ISSN) ; Habibi, J ; Mirian Hosseinabadi, S. H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Software product line (SPL) is an approach used to develop a range of software products with a high degree of similarity. In this approach, a feature model is usually used to keep track of similarities and differences. Over time, as modifications are made to the SPL, inconsistencies with the feature model could arise. The first approach to dealing with these inconsistencies is refactoring. Refactoring consists of small steps which, when accumulated, may lead to large-scale changes in the SPL, resulting in features being added to or eliminated from the SPL. In this paper, we propose a framework for refactoring SPLs, which helps keep SPLs consistent with the feature model. After some...

Abstract
Much effort has been put in defining methods, techniques, and tools for software architecture reconstruction (SAR) Software Architecture Transformation (SAT), and Software Architecture-based Development, but much less attention has been paid to what lies at the heart of architecture-based development, software architectural styles. We argue that architecture-based software development could be much more productive if centered around the concept of software architecture styles, hence the need for style recovery in the process of software architecture reconstruction. The reason behind this is generally. Furthermore, with the coherence architectural styles can bring to the process of automated...

Abstract
Reusing the programs which have already been developed can shorten the production time and reduce costs and expenses. One of the important issues in software reuse is finding a program or a program component in a program library which has been already developed and using it in the new program. In view of precision and automation that formal methods can provide, we can use formal methods in retrieval appropriate components from the software libraries. In this paper, some of the works done in the field of retrieval of the components from the libraries by the help of formal methods have been surveyed and reviewed
Towards a generic framework for model-driven engineering of software process lines
, Article ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 31 August 2017 through 1 September 2017 ; Volume Part F130524 , 2017 ; 9781450348430 (ISBN) ; Ramsin, R ; Rysavy, O ; Vranic, V ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Situational Method Engineering (SME)1approaches help construct bespoke software development processes according to the specifications of the project at hand, but they are time-consuming and costly. A Software Process Line (SPrL) tackles this problem by allowing software processes to be constructed for specific project situations through reusing core process assets. Model-Driven Development (MDD) has been used for automating SPrL Engineering (SPrLE); however, existing model-driven SPrLE methods are deficient as to their coverage of key MDD features. We propose a novel model-driven SPrLE approach that aims to address these shortcomings; it can be regarded as a framework that specifies the...

Abstract
Focusing on aspects during early stages of the software development lifecycle has received special attention by many researchers, leading to the advent of numerous Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) methods. This has consequently given a relatively high level of maturity to aspect-oriented processes. Process patterns, on the other hand, have been adopted as suitable mechanisms for defining or tailoring processes to fit specific organizational/project requirements. Process patterns, which essentially are reusable process components extracted from successful processes and practices, can be used to engineer new software development methodologies or to enhance existing ones. We propose...

Abstract
Stochastic activity networks (SANs) are a stochastic generalization of Petri nets. SAN models have been used to evaluate a wide range of systems and are supported by several modeling tools. We have introduced object stochastic activity networks (OSANs) to overcome some restrictions of these models. OSANs integrate the concepts of object-orientation into SAN models. Elements of OSANs and their submodels are defined as classes. OSANs are more appropriate that most other objectoriented or high-level extensions of Petri nets for application on software systems. In this paper, we will present the definitions, behavior and an example of OSAN models. The objectorientation of OSANs and the...
