Abstract

In order to reduce costs, to minimize risks, to anticipate deadlines and to optimize resources of projects of new products it must, whenever possible, to reuse artifacts of existing similar products. These artifacts must be of easy adaptation to meet the requirements of the new products. This paper proposes the use of mining of generic software components from embedded legacy systems to collect and to document the knowledge contained in such systems, to achieve their revitalization and to produce a core of reusable assets to support the fast development of similar products. Software Product Line techniques are used for domain modeling and components design. A case study for POS (Point of Sale) terminals domain is presented.
