Abstract :
The production method for a software product line is the coordinated set of processes, models, and tools chosen to implement the essential product line activities of core asset development and product development. This paper shows how the task of engineering a production method for a product line can be facilitated by applying concepts from the domain of method engineering. A case study of an industrial product line illustrates how its production method was engineered to achieve specific business goals.
