Abstract:
Large scale product lines cover multiple domains with different concepts and concerns. Thus, involving domain users in the development life cycle is a key factor for the success of the composition process combining the different subdomains of the intended resulting large scale system. In fact, domain users master the domain concepts, the scope of each subdomain and the interactions between the different subdomains to be composed. This makes them key actors in the composition process. Adopting agile principles is then required to offer intuitive and simple composition techniques for end-users. One of these emergent techniques is Mashup, which is mainly concerned with web service composition in an ad hoc way. This paper proposes using a Mashup component as an underlying composition technique for large scale service oriented product lines in order to bring agility to the process of composing the different subdomains services. The proposed Mashup component in allows incremental composition to achieve agility and to address scalability issue as well.
