Abstract

The domain of mobile and context-aware applications involves challenging requirements, such as mobility and adaptation, which makes the application development complex for this area. Considering this scenario, we used a nested software product line (SPL) that aims to facilitate the construction of such software by domain decomposition in two levels of analysis. The first concerns the characteristics of a generic SPL for the mobile and context-aware domain. The second is the requirement analysis of a business domain together with characteristics of the generic level. The goal of this paper is to propose a nested SPL.
