Over the last years scoping has been established as the initial activity for starting product line engineering. To be successful in defining the right scope for more than 5 years in industrial projects, we always had to customize our generic scoping process to the organizational context, projects constraints, available artifacts, and resources. In this paper, we present an update of the scoping process...
The decision of an organization to introduce product line engineering depends on a sound and careful analysis of risks and return on investment. The latter is computed by an economic model, which relies on high quality input and must reflect the envisioned migration strategy sufficiently. To facilitate risk analysis, this paper applies Monte-Carlo simulation to an existing product line economic model...
Basically all companies today go beyond the development of single products and offer set(s) of similar and related products. In marketing, one such set is often called a product line. Nevertheless, still today most products are not yet engineered as product lines, i.e., they are not yet derived from a single platform. In this paper, we explore the relation of these two forms of product lines. It is...
Optimal organization of the asset base in a software product line (SPL) depends on how the assets are used to produce products. It has been assumed that collecting an appropriate set of assets would automatically lead to economically produced products. However, industry experience suggests that simply having the right assets is not sufficient to allow easy assembly of products. One problem is the...
A new generation of software product line success stories is being driven by a new generation of methods, tools and techniques. While early software product line case studies at the genesis of the field revealed some of the best software engineering improvement metrics seen in four decades, the latest generation of software product line success stories exhibit even greater improvements, extending...
Variability management has long been recognized as a key part of software product family development. This article builds on this notion by presenting a set of Web service related technologies in the context of variability management. Additionally we adapt an existing process for planning variability for use with our technologies. We expect that Web service technology, already very successful in the...
