A First Approach to Build Product Lines of Multi-organizationalWeb Based Systems (MOWS)

Abstract

From the recent past and current state of the Internet, it is possible to forecast a wide growing of Multi Organizational Web–based Systems (MOWS). Therefore, the reduction of both costs and time–to–market is desirable. On the other hand, the success of building software in Product Lines (PL) is being demonstrated in different contexts reducing both time–to–market and costs. However, research on PL topics has not been oriented to include web–based assets. In this article, we propose a first approach to use PL methodologies to build MOWS.We identify quality aspects as a key point when building Product Lines of MOWS and we give a way to specify quality aspects in PL.
