  Abstract

The core assets include all properties which consist of an application in Product Line Engineering. The requirement, one of the core assets, is a basis of other core assets and commonality and variability of other core assets are classified by the requirement. accordingly, commonality and variability of the domain requirement should be managed objectively and it is necessary to make a process to reuse the domain requirements. However the requirement is analyzed by domain experts or developers without proper process. In this paper, we proposed the 4 activities: (1)the domain scoping, (2)the extraction and generalization of the domain requirement, (3)the domain requirement analyzing and modeling, (4)the change management, and sub activities. For all reasons given previously, it is possible to reduce the development time and cost by reusing the architectures and components related to the domain requirement. In addition, it is possible to increase the quality of the artifacts produced based on the requirements by managing them systematically.
