Multi Software Product Line (MSPL or simply Multi Product Line - MPL) has recently emerged as a new approach to develop software systems, mainly those large, complex ones. This approach can be investigated to the development of Systems-of-Systems (SoS), i.e., a new class of software systems that are resulted by the integration of several operationally independent systems. In another perspective, a special type of architecture that contains knowledge about a specific domain has been increasingly investigated, resulting in the research area of Reference Architecture. In this context, the main motivation of this paper is that, in spite of the positive impact of this type of architecture on reuse and productivity, the use of the knowledge contained in existing reference architectures in order to develop MPL, specially to develop SoS, has not been widely explored yet. In this scenario, the main objective of this paper is to present a set of perspectives and challenges of research to use reference architectures in the context of MPL. For this, we have based on our previous experience as well as the literature of SPL, SoS, and reference architecture. As result, we have observed that reference architectures together with MPL seems to be a quite promising research topic. To conclude, we also intend this paper can identify new required research in this context, contributing to improve reuse and productivity in MPL.
