The use of software-controlled gastrointestinal (GI) stimulators to regulate gastric activity promises to revolutionize treatment of GI-related diseases. Because this software area is relatively young, it is difficult to propose a concrete and detailed realization of a product line in GI. However, a comprehensive analysis of the domain will identify the main requirements and problems, which should be considered when developing software systems in that domain. The aim of the proposed analysis is also to spot the critical areas that require further investigation, including necessary conditions for a software-controlled GI stimulation system to be implementable. The result of this analysis should ideally produce an initial plan for product development so that there is an incremental delivery of value that also efficiently provides feedback on the actual nature of the domain.

Abstract
The use of software-controlled gastrointestinal (GI) stimulators to regulate gastric activity promises to revolutionize treatment of GI-related diseases. Because this software area is relatively young, it is difficult to propose a concrete and detailed realization of a product line in GI. However, a comprehensive analysis of the domain will identify the main requirements and problems, which should be considered when developing software systems in that domain. The aim of the proposed analysis is also to spot the critical areas that require further investigation, including necessary conditions for a software-controlled GI stimulation system to be implementable. The result of this analysis should ideally produce an initial plan for product development so that there is an incremental delivery of value that also efficiently provides feedback on the actual nature of the domain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
