Abstract

This paper describes our experience with developing a product line for middleware-based versioning systems. We perform a detailed domain analysis and define a DSL for configuring individual systems. Afterwards, we present a template-based approach for generating versioning systems from UML models. The presented approach is evaluated from two perspectives. We first use diverse measures to determine the properties of code templates used by the generator. Afterwards, we compare the performance of a generated versioning system to a system that has been developed by means of a framework and thus has to rely on a set of generic implementation components.
