Consolidating community consensus in product line practice

摘要

This workshop is intended as the first step towards capturing and codifying proven and effective product line engineering concepts, models, and practices. One way to capture and codify is by creating a standard. The goal of this workshop is to explore the possibility of creating a lightweight standard for product line engineering that defines what constitutes a software product line, what minimum engineering processes must be part of a true product line engineering effort, and lists a number of proven practices. While this workshop cannot produce such a standard, it can set the process in motion and provide direction for the effort.
