Abstract

Industrial experiences show that support for sharing and deploying product line models and tools is essential when institutionalizing product line engineering. This paper presents key workflows together with an infrastructure providing support for this purpose. Our approach supports distributed users sharing work products during variability modeling, product derivation, and product line evolution. The approach is based on product line bundles (PLiBs) for packaging models and tool support for specific product lines. Using three industrial scenarios and an industrial product line example we demonstrate how our infrastructure supports the deployment of models and tools in practical settings.
