Abstract

Using model-based development has shown to increase efficiency and effectiveness of software production. However, with software as an integral part of products with customized functionalities, explicit treatment of product lines is increasingly becoming necessary to cope with this additional complexity. To combine these aspects, which are generally considered only in isolation, a conceptual model addressing both the aspects of product-line engineering as well as aspects of component systems is introduced, and the consequences concerning product line identification and instantiation are illustrated.
