Utilization of Software Product Lines for Generation of Patient Monitoring Systems and Sending Alerts

Abstract Software Product Lines (SPL) are responsible for the generation of systems based on a selection of its features. Despite the ease of handling ordinary systems in the hospital environment, there are processes which handle some critical information that are related to time constraints (Real-Time). In this context, this work implements an SPL focused on the generation of patient monitoring systems. A tool name d Captor was used in this work, in order to provide for ms to control the variability of the system that will be generated. So as to validate the SPL, two systems were generated by the tool through the selection of a combination of the available features. © 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
