Towards a framework for engineering product families and self-adaptive systems
Professor of Software-Intensive Systems at ENSTA Bretagne
Leader of the VariaMos research program and tool: www.variamos.com
Research focus
My areas of research are software engineering and systems engineering. In particular, my research focuses on
requirements engineering, in activities such as scoping, elucidation, specification in semi-structured natural language, modelling, analysis, verification and diagnosis and correction of functional and non-functional (specially operational safety and cyber-security) requirements;
component-based software development and architecture;
model-based development of (dynamic) software-product lines;
engineering variability-based, context-aware and self-adaptive (cyber-physical) systems; and
modelling and solving combinatorial problems by exact (propositional logic, constraint programming, descriptive logic) and approximated (metaheuristics) methods.

Mazo Raúl. Guía para la adopción industrial de líneas de productos de software. Editorial Eafit, ISBN 978-958-720-506-0, Medellín-Colombia, 2018
The essential concepts of product line engineering, the necessary knowledge, and the models and the methods used for developing product lines are progressively introduced in this guide in a straightforward approach: through a complete and unified framework.
There exist other works in the literature that have helped in part and that have contributed in issues specific to product line development. These works are written mostly in English (no one in Spanish) and are the result of research on a specific topic within product line engineering. To unify the concepts and terms that express them, at the beginning of the guide we present (i) a reading guide that shows and explains the different ways of reading the book, (ii) a unified glossary for product line engineering, whose terms are used throughout the book, and (iii) a base example corresponding to a real line of virtual stores that will help us explain and demonstrate the solutions provided in each of the chapters of the guide.
