Supporting the grow-and-prune model for evolving software product lines

207 p.Software Product Lines (SPLs) aim at supporting the development of a whole family of software products through a systematic reuse of shared assets. To this end, SPL development is separated into two interrelated processes: (1) domain engineering (DE), where the scope and variability of the system is defined and reusable core-assets are developed; and (2) application engineering (AE), where products are derived by selecting core assets and resolving variability. Evolution in SPLs is considered to be more challenging than in traditional systems, as both core-assets and products need to co-evolve. The so-called grow-and-prune model has proven great flexibility to incrementally evolve an SPL by letting the products grow, and later prune the product functionalities deemed useful by refactoring and merging them back to the reusable SPL core-asset base. This Thesis aims at supporting the grow-and-prune model as for initiating and enacting the pruning. Initiating the pruning requires SPL engineers to conduct customization analysis, i.e. analyzing how products have changed the core-assets. Customization analysis aims at identifying interesting product customizations to be ported to the core-asset base. However, existing tools do not fulfill engineers needs to conduct this practice. To address this issue, this Thesis elaborates on the SPL engineers' needs when conducting customization analysis, and proposes a data-warehouse approach to help SPL engineers on the analysis. Once the interesting customizations have been identified, the pruning needs to be enacted. This means that product code needs to be ported to the core-asset realm, while products are upgraded with newer functionalities and bug-fixes available in newer core-asset releases. Herein, synchronizing both parties through sync paths is required. However, the state of-the-art tools are not tailored to SPL sync paths, and this hinders synchronizing core-assets and products. To address this issue, this Thesis proposes to leverage existing Version Control Systems (i.e. git/Github) to provide sync operations as first-class construct

Adaptation-Aware Architecture Modeling and Analysis of Energy Efficiency for Software Systems

This thesis presents an approach for the design time analysis of energy efficiency for static and self-adaptive software systems. The quality characteristics of a software system, such as performance and operating costs, strongly depend upon its architecture. Software architecture is a high-level view on software artifacts that reflects essential quality characteristics of a system under design. Design decisions made on an architectural level have a decisive impact on the quality of a system. Revising architectural design decisions late into development requires significant effort. Architectural analyses allow software architects to reason about the impact of design decisions on quality, based on an architectural description of the system. An essential quality goal is the reduction of cost while maintaining other quality goals. Power consumption accounts for a significant part of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of data centers. In 2010, data centers contributed 1.3% of the world-wide power consumption. However, reasoning on the energy efficiency of software systems is excluded from the systematic analysis of software architectures at design time. Energy efficiency can only be evaluated once the system is deployed and operational. One approach to reduce power consumption or cost is the introduction of self-adaptivity to a software system. Self-adaptive software systems execute adaptations to provision costly resources dependent on user load. The execution of reconfigurations can increase energy efficiency and reduce cost. If performed improperly, however, the additional resources required to execute a reconfiguration may exceed their positive effect. Existing architecture-level energy analysis approaches offer limited accuracy or only consider a limited set of system features, e.g., the used communication style. Predictive approaches from the embedded systems and Cloud Computing domain operate on an abstraction that is not suited for architectural analysis. The execution of adaptations can consume additional resources. The additional consumption can reduce performance and energy efficiency. Design time quality analyses for self-adaptive software systems ignore this transient effect of adaptations. This thesis makes the following contributions to enable the systematic consideration of energy efficiency in the architectural design of self-adaptive software systems: First, it presents a modeling language that captures power consumption characteristics on an architectural abstraction level. Second, it introduces an energy efficiency analysis approach that uses instances of our power consumption modeling language in combination with existing performance analyses for architecture models. The developed analysis supports reasoning on energy efficiency for static and self-adaptive software systems. Third, to ease the specification of power consumption characteristics, we provide a method for extracting power models for server environments. The method encompasses an automated profiling of servers based on a set of restrictions defined by the user. A model training framework extracts a set of power models specified in our modeling language from the resulting profile. The method ranks the trained power models based on their predicted accuracy. Lastly, this thesis introduces a systematic modeling and analysis approach for considering transient effects in design time quality analyses. The approach explicitly models inter-dependencies between reconfigurations, performance and power consumption. We provide a formalization of the execution semantics of the model. Additionally, we discuss how our approach can be integrated with existing quality analyses of self-adaptive software systems. We validated the accuracy, applicability, and appropriateness of our approach in a variety of case studies. The first two case studies investigated the accuracy and appropriateness of our modeling and analysis approach. The first study evaluated the impact of design decisions on the energy efficiency of a media hosting application. The energy consumption predictions achieved an absolute error lower than 5.5% across different user loads. Our approach predicted the relative impact of the design decision on energy efficiency with an error of less than 18.94%. The second case study used two variants of the Spring-based community case study system PetClinic. The case study complements the accuracy and appropriateness evaluation of our modeling and analysis approach. We were able to predict the energy consumption of both variants with an absolute error of no more than 2.38%. In contrast to the first case study, we derived all models automatically, using our power model extraction framework, as well as an extraction framework for performance models. The third case study applied our model-based prediction to evaluate the effect of different self-adaptation algorithms on energy efficiency. It involved scientific workloads executed in a virtualized environment. Our approach predicted the energy consumption with an error below 7.1%, even though we used coarse grained measurement data of low accuracy to train the input models. The fourth case study evaluated the appropriateness and accuracy of the automated model extraction method using a set of Big Data and enterprise workloads. Our method produced power models with prediction errors below 5.9%. A secondary study evaluated the accuracy of extracted power models for different Virtual Machine (VM) migration scenarios. The results of the fifth case study showed that our approach for modeling transient effects improved the prediction accuracy for a horizontally scaling application. Leveraging the improved accuracy, we were able to identify design deficiencies of the application that otherwise would have remained unnoticed

Du génie logiciel pour déployer, gérer et reconfigurer les logiciels

As a discipline, software engineering embraces various schools of thought, yet remains consistent with respect to its objective. It aims at providing means for effective and inexpensive production of software by contributing mathematical frameworks, methods and tools. Consequently, we witness some automation in software production process that, as of today, allows producing astronomical amounts of lines of code daily. This rapidly and massively produced software is required for all computer equipment that has invaded our daily life in various forms of other devices (PC, tablet, phone, refrigerator, car, etc.). In this world of large software consumption, it is somewhat surprising that the management of software, after its production, remains dominated by manual practices like searching in lists, downloading units and manual installations. In this context, I organized my research activities such that they aim at providing mathematical frameworks, methods and tools to deploy, distribute or update massive amounts of software since 2001, the year of my PhD defense. These research activities were mainly conducted in Brest at the CS department of Telecom Bretagne as part of the PASS team of IRISA. This document puts into perspective my various scientific contributions, undertaken projects, endeavors in training research students and efforts invested as a teacher. My scientific contributions can be divided into five parts: mathematical models and algorithms for dependency management in software deployment; software component models; processes and tools for massive software deployment; dynamic update of programs at runtime; languages for the design and implementation of software development processes. All these works complement each other, thus making it possible to imagine the proposition of methods and tools for large-scale software deployment.Le génie logiciel est une discipline constituée de nombreux courants mais cohérente par l'objectif affiché. Il s'agit d'aider à la production, de manière efficace et peu coûteuse, de logiciels en offrant des cadres mathématiques, des méthodes et des outils. Ainsi, on a pu assister à une certaine industrialisation du processus de production de logiciel qui permet aujourd'hui de produire, chaque jour, des quantités astronomiques de logiciel. Ce logiciel produit rapidement et en grande quantité est nécessaire pour tous les équipements informatiques qui ont envahi notre quotidien (ordinateur, tablette, téléphone, réfrigérateur, voiture, ...). Dans ce monde de grande consommation du logiciel, il est cependant surprenant de constater que la gestion des logiciels après leur production est resté dominé par des pratiques manuelles de recherche dans des listes, de téléchargement unitaire et d'installation manuelle. C'est dans ce cadre que j'ai développé une activité de recherche visant à fournir des cadres mathématiques, des méthodes et des outils pour déployer, diffuser ou mettre à jour massivement les logiciels depuis 2001 année de ma soutenance de thèse. Ces activités de recherche ont été conduites principalement à Brest au sein du département informatique de Télécom Bretagne dans le cadre de l'équipe PASS de l'IRISA. Mon Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches est l'occasion de remettre en perspective mes différentes contributions scientifiques, les étudiants formés à la recherche, les projets réalisés ainsi que mon investissement en tant qu'enseignant. Les contributions scientifiques peuvent être classées en cinq parties : - des modèles mathématiques et les algorithmes associés pour la gestion des dépendances de logiciels lors de leur déploiement ; - les modèles de composants logiciels ; - les processus et outils pour le déploiement de logiciel massif ; - la mise à jour de programmes sans interrompre leur exécution ; - des langages pour la conception et la réalisation de processus de développement logiciel. Tous ces travaux qui se nourrissent et se complètent permettent d'imaginer la proposition de méthodes et outils pour passer à l'échelle dans la gestion du déploiement des logiciels

Combining SOA and BPM Technologies for Cross-System Process Automation

This paper summarizes the results of an industry case study that introduced a cross-system business process automation solution based on a combination of SOA and BPM standard technologies (i.e., BPMN, BPEL, WSDL). Besides discussing major weaknesses of the existing, custom-built, solution and comparing them against experiences with the developed prototype, the paper presents a course of action for transforming the current solution into the proposed solution. This includes a general approach, consisting of four distinct steps, as well as specific action items that are to be performed for every step. The discussion also covers language and tool support and challenges arising from the transformation
