Abstract

Controlling and managing variability across all life cycle stages is the key practice area that distinguishes product line engineering from single system development. Therefore, product line researchers have proposed many approaches and techniques for addressing variability management. There is, however, no standard or standardized framework yet that organizes and structures the different approaches in a clear and comparable way. <br>This paper uses the concept of a variability dimension to clearly separate variability-related issues from all other aspects related to development artifacts. Along the variability dimension, the paper then presents the variability philosophy used by Fraunhofer PuLSE (Product Line Software and System Engineering) that manages all kinds of variabilities (i.e., from problem to solution space, from specification to run time) in a unified way.
