Software Product Lines are typically used to support development of a software product family and not a software product population, which denotes a broader and more diverse range of software products. We present a Software Product Line Infrastructure (SPLI) that has been designed to increase the reuse of software efforts in product populations. The SPLI takes a bottom-up approach by structuring product features in highly reusable software components called Active Components which contain different types of artefacts. Variability is expressed using domain-specific models and formal variability models. Variability is bound during product derivation by executing model-to-artefact transformations. Components are active because they are invoked during the derivation process, thereby empowering the component. The SPLI enables step-wise refinements of applications by allowing specialization and composition of models before variability is bound. A prototype of the SPLI has been created that was used to develop and evaluate an experimental software product line. It is concluded that within the context of our experimental software product line the SPLI improves software reuse in software product populations.
