Abstract

A product line definition must cover several systems, for this reason additional requirements are included as product line assets during domain engineering. Generic assets are presented to cover all components the product line instances are built from, and their corresponding composition rules. These generic assets embrace common and variable product aspects supporting the variability in product line definition and instantiation.This paper is devoted to present the problem of handling product line variability in every life-cycle stage by the integration of the ideas of the domain engineering method FORM (Feature-Oriented Reuse Method) and the Mecano Model, which defines a coarse-grained reusable element structure.
