The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny..."

RASP Product Family Architecture
Fluxica's product family of data analysis solutions is based on the in-house developed RASP architecture. RASP stands for Real-time Adaptive Signal Processing and builds on more than five years of research results in software product family engineering.
The RASP architecture is documented as a case study in a research paper on software product families. The study illustrates an engineering approach for architecting the variability (reuse) infrastructure of a dynamically reconfigurable product family on-chip. From a software engineering perspective, the goal of the paper is twofold:
- It demonstrates how variability theory can be applied in an everyday engineering context.
- It exemplifies how software and hardware functionality can be combined into a single representation.
