Abstract
Although the product line approach for automotive systems is promising because it gains significant economies of scope, it requires systematic planning and continuous management of variability throughout the development process. The authors discuss the value of variability in product lines and describe their approach to modeling and using variability, which evolved from their work at Bosch.
