Tool for Configuring Product Individuals from Configurable Software Product Families

This position paper presents a tool for configuring product individuals from configurable software product lines. The product derivation is done by making selections based on a configuration model in a way that best satisfies customer requirements at hand. The tool produces a description of the product individual as an output. The implementation is based on both component-based and feature-based modelling techniques. The tool employs techniques from traditional product configuration to ensure the validity of the product individual against the model. The implementation of the tool is still in progress.
