Variability Management with ACM (Adaptable Component Model) for Insurance Product Line

In insurance application, there are typical problems which can arise as complexity of products increases and reason for product line engineering required. For easy channel extension and new product release, insurance product line engineering was launched. In this paper, we describe experiences of product line engineering. Specially, this paper proposes ACM (adaptable component model) to deal with variability of component applying with rule concept. For component reuse, variability management is most important in product line engineering. It is a basic and essential principle to identify common elements as components and to make them assets of product line. But the problem is that it is not easy to identify what are the variable parts of components and to handle them. These days, business rule is getting more critical key for successful RTE (real time enterprise). It means separating rules can make easy change or fast adapt to new business context without modifying application. The elements of variability which change with each application are viewed as variability of business rules. Therefore, when there is need to change business requirements in product line; this is resolved through rule changes
