| A
Product Line Model
Khaled Jaber, Case Western Reserve University; and Nader Nada, George Mason University |
| A product line is a group of
systems sharing a common, managed set of features that satisfy specific needs of a
selected market or mission. In the product line approach, management, system developers,
and a reuse team are interested in some views of the product line. In this poster, a model
is defined to present product lines, their derived products, and common assets used in
these product lines. The model is used to convey views of interest to management, system
developers, and a reuse team in the product line approach. Its purpose is to capture
information about organizations' product lines and make it visible to people both inside
and outside the organizations. A repository that supports the product line approach can
use the model to present these views. Management can use the model when producing new
products of a product line, negotiating with customers, and assessing the benefits of
adopting the product line approach. Product line developers can use the model when
developing products of a product line. A reuse team can use the model through asset
identifications, ensuring a successful use of asset base in and across product lines, and
when assessing the level of reuse. A continuing work will show how a repository can
implement the model.
