manager systems with binding models
7.6. Summary
In this chapter, we presented a second application example
related to stand-alone applications managing data collections.
We call this a collection manager system , a product line
member of this MD-SPL. A collection manager is devoted to
the management of specific data from a business domain. We
presented the commonalities and variability involved in the
productlinealongwiththemetamodels,thefeaturemodel,and
the constraint model we created to capture such commonality
and variability. We presented as an example some parts of a
binding model we created as a means to configure a product
line member,and we presented also parts of the decision model
we used to generate operable systems.We explained the staged
process to generate a collection manager system, from the
creation of a problem space model, through the configuration
of the variations chosen for product designers, until the final
generation of a product.
