One of the most important factors of success in the development of a software product line is the elicitation, management, and representation of variability. In this context, this article explores the possible advantages of adoption of the Model Driven Engineering (MDE) paradigm in the variability specification. Feature graphs and Goal models can be considered special models in the context of MDE. The global picture is a sequence of models from requirements to features, and from both of these to architecture (a UML model). The transformation process is based on the respective meta-models. The conclusion is positive as the introduction of MDE raises the abstraction level in the instantiation process of the product line. More effort is needed to further evaluate some of the ideas related to automated transformations: in particular, the traceability register is essential if we want to exploit their possible benefits.
