abstract = {This paper presents a baseline-oriented modelling (BOM) approach to develop families of software products. BOM is a generic solution implemented as a framework that automatically generates software applications using executable architectural models by means of software product line (SPL) techniques. In order to cope with the variability problem, BOM considers its cardinality and type and implements two solutions: the BOM-EAGER and the BOM-LAZY approaches. BOM has been designed following the model-driven architecture (MDA) standard: all the SPL software artefacts are models, and model transformations enact the SPL production plan.},

abstract = {Feature Modeling is a technique which uses a specific visual notation to characterize the variability of product lines by means of diagrams. In this sense, the arrival of metamodeling frameworks in the Model-Driven Engineering field has provided the necessary background to exploit these diagrams (called feature models) in complex software development processes. However, these frameworks (such as the Eclipse Modeling Framework) have some limitations when they must deal with software artifacts at several abstraction layers. This paper presents a prototype that allows the developers to define cardinality-based feature models with constraints. These models are automatically translated to Domain Variability Models (DVM) by means of model-to-model transformations. Thus, such models can be instantiated, and each different instantiation is a configuration of the feature model. This appproach allows us to take advantage of existing generative programming tools, query languages and validation formalisms; and, what is more, DVMs can play a key role in MDE processes as they can be used as inputs in complex model transformations.

abstract = {Actualmente, con el objetivo de obtener productos software de calidad es necesario llevar a cabo una buena gesti\'{o}n de los procesos software donde la medici\'{o}n de los procesos se convierte en un factor fundamental. Debido a la gran variedad de entidades candidatas para la medici\'{o}n, se considera necesario un marco consistente para integrar la medici\'{o}n de los distintos tipos de entidades. En este trabajo se presenta la propuesta de un entorno gen\'{e}rico para la medici\'{o}n de cualquier entidad software a partir de los metamodelos que las representan. Partiendo de un metamodelo com\'{u}n de medici\'{o}n, y mediante transformaciones QVT, se puede llevar a cabo la medici\'{o}n de un modelo de dominio cualquiera. En el trabajo se explica como se ha llevado a cabo la propuesta: por un lado, se ha trabajado con la herramienta MOMENT, que proporciona el soporte necesario para la gesti\'{o}n autom\'{a}tica de modelos de acuerdo a MDE y a la arquitectura MDA, por otro lado, se ha adaptado FMESP a MDA. FMESP es un marco de trabajo para la integraci\'{o}n del modelado y de la medici\'{o}n de procesos software, que sirve de base conceptual y tecnol\'{o}gica para su mejora. Adem\'{a}s, se muestran las etapas a seguir para conseguir la medici\'{o}n gen\'{e}rica basada en MDA, y un caso de ejemplo en el dominio de bases de datos relacionales.},

abstract = {In the Model-Driven Architecture initiative, software artefacts are represented by means of models that can be manipulated. Such manipulations can be performed by means of transformations and queries. The standard Query/Views/Transformations and the standard language OCL are becoming suitable languages for these purposes. This paper presents an algebraic specification of the operational semantics of part of the OCL 2.0 standard, focusing on queries. This algebraic specification of OCL can be used within the Eclipse Modeling Framework to represent models in an algebraic setting and to perform queries or transformations over software artefacts that can be represented as models: model instances, models, metamodels, etc. In addition, a prototype for executing such OCL queries and invariants over EMF models is presented. This prototype provides a compiler of the OCL standard language that targets an algebraic specification of OCL, which runs on the term rewriting system Maude.},
