Abstract
The use of software-controlled gastrointestinal (GI) stimulators to regulate gastric activity promises to revolutionize treatment of GI-related diseases. Because this software area is relatively young, it is difficult to propose a concrete and detailed realization of a product line in GI. However, a comprehensive analysis of the domain identified the main requirements and problems, which should be considered when developing software systems in that domain. The analysis identified the critical areas for further investigation, including the necessary conditions for the implementability of a software-controlled GI stimulation system. It also offered an initial plan for product development providing incremental delivery of value.
