The integrated method for a systematic approach in developing precision farming software product line architecture

Software complexity has always been an issue in software development, especially for larger system with innovative functionalities. One solution to reduce the problem of software complexity is by applying software reuse method. Nowadays, Software Product Line is an emerging paradigm for handling sof...
