In mature domains, a number of competing product linesmay emerge, and from the point of view of customers ofsuch product lines, reengineering and reuse of assets acrossproduct lines from different vendors becomes important. Toaddress this issue we present a low-cost approach, ComponentReengineering Workshops, for assessing reengineeringcosts of reusing components between different productlines. The approach works on the level of software architectures,and relies critically on input from various (technical)stakeholders. It has been validated through case studiesthat are also presented in this paper.
