In this module we apply a product-line approach to automatically generate software from feature specifications that characterise individual members of the product line. As a result, both software engineers and sales people of our industrial partner will be supported with innovative tools for planning and developing new product line members to maximise productivity and minimise defects and economic risks. The novelty of our research lies in the combination of approaches for modelling stakeholder needs, product features, architectural elements, and variability, in introducing business decision-making into product line engineering, and in an novel approach for making feature-based product configuration accessible to non-software-experts.
We are developing an automated approach for product line engineering in cooperation with Siemens VAI, the world's leading company in the domain of engineering and plant building for the iron, steel, and aluminum industry. The approach addresses both variability modelling and product derivation.
Variability Modelling
DOPLERVM Modeling Approach
DOPLERVM is a flexible and extensible approach for variability modeling. It supports adapting a core meta-model to different domains and to define the variability of core assets such as features, architectural elements, resources, or properties. An asset model defines the reused artifacts of the product line with their structural and functional dependencies. Examples for assets are components, documentation fragments, resources, or properties. User interventions that are needed to choose assets for a concrete product are captured as decisions. Decisions desribe the variability of the assets. They can be taken by different stakeholders such as sales people and engineers during product derivation. Decisions are related with each through hierarchical and logical dependencies. Assets specify an inclusion condition specifying whether a particular asset will be included in the derived product.
Core Variability Meta-Model
Product Derivation
DOPLERUCon is a user-centered approach for product configuration. It utilizes variability models and guides sales people and application engineers through product derivation. Particular emphasis lies on support for requirements acquisition and management. The approach also aims to make variability models accessible to "non-technicians" such as sales people or customers to fully exploit the benefits of PLE.

Supporting Tools
Note: The animated tool demonstrations require the Adobe/Macromedia flash player integrated in your browser. We also recommend a fast internet connection.
DecisionKing
DecisionKing is a variability modeling and management tool. The tool can be parameterized by creating a meta-model defining concrete asset types, their attributes, and relationships. This enables the creation of domain-specific variability models according to the meta-model of the domain. Relationships between decisions and assets are expressed in a JBoss-based rule language. DecisionKing also supports evolution of variability models. The tool is based on a plug-in architecture to ensure extensibility with arbitrary company-specific tools.
DecisionKing: Modeling Variability with Decisions.
ProjectKing
ProjectKing guides and supports the product derivation and sales process. It takes DecisionKing’s variability models as input and enables project or sales managers to add project-specific sales knowledge. The tool allows to plan roles and responsibilities of product derivation stakeholders and to fine-tune variability models, e.g., by specifying default answers for decisions. ProjectKing allows capturing meta-information and recommendations on decisions by using multimedia objects (e.g., audio or video files) that provide further details and rationale for decision-taking.
ProjectKing: Grouping Decisions into Tasks and Assigning Roles to Tasks.
ConfigurationWizard
ConfigurationWizard provides capabilities for product customization, requirements elicitation, and configuration generation. It displays all decisions within the responsibility of a user as questions. The currently required assets can be displayed in a separate view. Graphs and trees visualize dependencies between decisions to ease navigation in complex models. Users can capture new requirements which are not yet covered by the product line and relate them with assets and decisions. Based on the currently required assets ConfigurationWizard generates initial product configurations that can for example be used to deploy the product or to launch simulators.
ConfigurationWizard: Tabular and Hierarchical Decision Views and Effects View.
ConfigurationWizard: Eclipse Draw2D- and Zest-based Visualizer Views.
