Mastering Product Variations by Creating a Universal Language for Software Customization Across Industries
-- Universal Variability Language, Business Process Model and Notation, Airbus,...--
Synopsis: In the world of software and product development, making artifacts customizable for different needs is crucial. The research community has made great strides with the Universal Variability Language (UVL), a tool that helps define and manage these customizations. However, while UVL is helpful, it doesn't cover everything.
This talk introduces a new concept called the Generic REAlization Language (GREAL). GREAL aims to fill the gaps that UVL left behind, especially when it comes to applying customizations to the core parts of a product line.
Key features of GREAL include:
Openness: Easily adaptable to different industries and uses.
Flexibility: Can handle various types of customizations.
Declarativity: Simple and clear rules for customization.
Reusability: Can be applied to multiple projects without starting from scratch.
The speaker will show how GREAL works with different base languages like UML, Java, and documentation. The speaker will also discuss a successful large-scale deployment of GREAL for Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) at Airbus.
Join us to explore how this new tool can make software and product customization more efficient and versatile.
