Multimodeling for Quality Assurance in Software Product Line Development by Emilio Insfran (Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain)

A software product line (SPL) is a set of software-intensive
systems that share a common, managed set of features and that are
developed from a common set of core assets in a prescribed way. Quality
assurance is a goal for success in software industry, but it is even
more important in SPL since an error in the Product Line may affect the
quality of several products instead of just one. In this talk, we will
introduce a multimodel approach for deriving product architectures from
the product line architecture driven by quality attributes. In addition,
the multimodel will be used as input for a quality-driven model
transformation that applies architectural transformation patterns in
case the derived product architecture do not achieve the expected
quality levels.

Emilio Insfran is Associate Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de
València (UPV), Spain. He received his MSc degree in Computer Science
from the Cantabria University (Spain, 1994) and his PhD degree from the
UPV (Spain, 2003). He has been a visiting scientist at the Software
Engineering Institute (SEI - Carnegie Mellon University) (Pittsburgh,
USA), University of Twente (Enschede, the Netherlands), and Brigham
Young University (Provo, USA).
He is Expert Evaluator for the National Evaluation and Foresight Agency
(ANEP) and for the National Agency for Quality Assessment and
Accreditation (ANECA - ACREDITA plus program) in Spain. He published
more than 140 papers in international journals and conferences and
participated in more than 20 national and international research
projects. He also leaded several industry-sponsored technology transfer
projects. He is in the editorial board of the Journal of Mathematical
Problems in Engineering, the International Journal of Business
Information and Technology, and the Computing and Systems Journal. He
also serves regularly in several program and organization committees of
international conferences such as MODELS, RE, SEAA, ISD, MODELSWARD,
WEBIST, etc. His main research interests are model-driven engineering,
requirements engineering, software architectures, software quality, and
cloud computing.
