Creating Product Line Architectures

The creation and validation of product line software architectures are inherently more complex than those of software architectures for single systems. This paper compares a process for creating and evaluating atraditional, one-of-a-kind software architecture with one for a referencesoftware architecture. The comparison is done in the context of PuLSE-DSSA,a customizable process that integrates both product line architecturecreation and evaluation.
