The SPLIT Method

This paper presents SPLIT (software product line integrated technology), an experimental method that helps Thomson-CSF and Alcatel to define and build product lines. SPLIT is organized as a global framework to help engineer product lines of software intensive systems. In this context the paper focuses on three themes: product line requirements (Cloud), product line architecture (Daisy), and product line process (Wheel). Although SPLIT proposes models independently of the notation used for their description, in this paper we have illustrated the approach by the use of the unified modeling language (UML).
