Variability is incorporated in component oriented software development especially in the connectors besides components, for efficient configuration of software products in this thesis. Components have been regarded as the main building blocks in the development of software, especially in component based approaches. Connectors, however, were also part of the solution but with not much of a responsibility when compared to components. When considered in a holistic approach to yield executable code starting with the commonalities and variabilities in a domain model, one can realize the importance of the connectors: A realistic integration can and should utilize connectors for the various connector responsibilities, recently studied in the literature. Thus the connector structures are proposed to take place in the component model of COSEML within the classification for their responsibilities. Assigning more responsibilities to connectors suggests the enhancement of their internal structures with respect to some configurability along variability modeling and handling the tasks expected from the connector as such classifications require. This research defines the configurable mechanisms in connectors for 1) variability management and 2) conducting the defined responsibilities that are more than merely providing a connection port. As a future result, connectors will be managed like components, having some functionality and corresponding executable code in them. A case study is presented for the demonstration of the functioning of the proposed connector.

Modeling heterogeneous internet of things systems using connectors in component oriented software engineering
Ünal, Selin; Dogru, Ali H.,; Department of Computer Engineering (2019)
In this thesis a solution for modeling heterogeneous IoT applications in component oriented software engineering is provided by using software connectors. IoT is interconnected devices or humans in the means of internet which gains more importance day by day in different areas of the world. This kind of powerful and complex systems have challenges to overcome in nature. Each IoT system component has specific set of rules for communicating with the other components. In order to be able to communicate, compon...
Merging multi-view feature models
Atılgan Aydın, Elçin; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2011)
Feature models are used for variability management in software product lines. Instead of developing a single feature model, merging small models can be an effective solution to obtain a unified view. Since each stakeholder views the product family from a different perspective, conflicts may occur during merging. In this research, merging of feature models arising from different viewpoints is considered. A normative procedure is proposed to merge feature models by applying local rules. This procedure can mer...
Visual composition component oriented development
Öztürk, Murat Mutlu; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2005)
This thesis introduces a visual composition approach for JavaBeans components, in compliance with the Component Oriented Software Engineering (COSE) process. The graphical modeling tool, COSECASE, is enhanced with the ability to build a system by integrating domain-specific components. Such integration is implemented by defining connection points and interaction details between components. The event model of the JavaBeans architecture is also added to the capabilities.
Feature modeling and automated analysis for an embedded software product family
Fedakar Gönül, Gülseren; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
In the context of software product line engineering, feature models are used for modeling variability and commonality in product families. This thesis presents a basic feature model for a commercial television set product family. This work consists of three stages. First, a feature model is constructed, based on the analysis of the product family requirements. The constructed model is supplemented with a feature glossary. FeatureIDE is used as the model editor. Feature attributes, not supported by FeatureID...
Measurement based software process improvement
Ener, Aysun; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This thesis is a study on improving the software requirements management processes of embedded software department of a company. The literature on software process improvement and requirements engineering is reviewed. After determining the problems related to the current requirements management processes of the department, an improved process is proposed addressing these problems. The static process descriptions and the models of the current and improved requirements management processes are formed. A recen...
