Method and apparatus of extending product modeling languages to languages for modeling a family of products, and computer-readable recording medium

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for modeling a family of plural variation points that may have relevance to each other and each include at least one variable. According to the method of the present invention, the variable points to be included in the product family model and the variable values to be included in the variable points are considered in consideration of the properties of all the components included in the plurality of products and the relationship between the components. , And the commonality of extracting the association between variable values and variable points and expressing a common platform of a product family that can be commonly applied to all products by using the extracted variable points, variable values and associations. A presentation step, and a product variability presentation step of expressing variability of each product by matching components of the product as a variable value of a corresponding variable point among the variable points included in the common platform. According to the present invention, individual products can be modeled using OVDL and OCDL.
