TY - JOUR T1 - Rapid Prototyping Using a Configurable Platform JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2013 A1 - Antonio Misaka KW - configurable platform KW - rapid prototyping KW - requirements analysis KW - software product-line engineering KW - web applications AB - This article describes an approach for speeding up the development of web applications using a configurable platform. The core idea of the approach is that developers can implement customer requirements by configuring platform components, instead of writing large amounts of “glue code” to wire the components together. This approach reduces the amount of glue code that still needs to be written and maintained, it shortens the time it takes developers to create a prototype, and it makes it easier for glue code to be reused in the future. It also allows developers to experiment with different configurations of platform components in order to find the configuration that best meets the customer's requirements. Developers are also able to manage a larger variation in customer requirements.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A Progress Report on the Keystone Off-The-Shelf Project JF - Open Source Business Resource Y1 - 2011 A1 - James Makienko A1 - Antonio Misaka AB - In this article, we provide an update on the Keystone Off-The-Shelf (KOTS) project. We begin by presenting an overview of the goals and the advantages of KOTS. Next, we describe the software components that make up KOTS. Finally, a blueprint for the first application of KOTS is described along with the plan to launch a collective of technology companies and a non-profit organization that will use, support, and evolve the software.
