Software product line engineering and service-oriented architectures both enable organizations to capitalize on reuse of existing software assets and capabilities and improve competitive advantage in terms of development savings, product flexibility, time-to-market. Both approaches accommodate variation of assets, including services, by changing the software being reused or composing services according a new orchestration. Therefore, variability management in Service-oriented Product Lines (SoPL) is one of the main challenges today. In order to highlight the emerging evidence-based results from the research community, we apply the well-defined method of systematic mapping in order to populate a classification scheme for the SoPL field of interest. The analysis of results throws light on the current open issues. Moreover, different facets of the scheme can be combined to answer more specific research questions. The report reveals the need for more empirical research able to provide new metrics measuring efficiency and efficacy of the proposed models, new methods and tools supporting variability management in SoPL, especially during maintenance and verification and validation. The mapping study about SoPL opens further investigations by means of a complete systematic review to select and validate the most efficient solutions to variability management in SoPL.
