Abstract:
Normalized Systems Theory aims to create software systems exhibiting a proven degree of evolvability. While its theorems have been formally proven and several applications have been used in practice, no real overview of the typical types or dimensions along which such Normalized Systems software applications can evolve is present. Therefore, this paper presents several cases in which its different variability dimensions are illustrated. Based on these cases, a more general overview of four variability dimensions for Normalized Systems software applications is proposed: changes regarding the application model, expanders, craftings and technological options.
