摘要

The Carnegie Mellon (trademark) Software Engineering Institute held the Seventh Department of Defense (DoD) Product Line Practice Workshop in September 2004. The workshop was a hands-on meeting to share DoD product line practices, experiences, and issues and to discuss ways in which specific product line practices are accomplished within the DoD. All of the participants were invited to give a short presentation about their organization's product line interests and experiences. In general, participants reported encouraging progress on DoD software product lines.
