What is Product Line Engineering (PLE)? Product Line Engineering (PLE) is a way to engineer a portfolio of related products in an efficient manner, taking full advantage of the products’ similarities while respecting and managing their differences. This affects all activities involved in planning, producing, delivering, deploying, sustaining, and retiring products. Typical applications: • Automotive • Aviation • Engines/Machines • Computers • Buildings • Banking products • Standard Software • … Model-based Engineering of Product Lines – SWISSED 2017 6

Why Product Line Engineering (PLE)? When PLE? • Systems with shared components across variants • Systems with optional/alternative or parametrizable components • Complex dependencies between options Benefits of PLE • Reduced time to market • Improved quality through increased reusability • Reduced complexity in stock-keeping Subjects of PLE modeling • Requirements & specifications • Architectures & designs of system components • Validations & verifications • Manuals & documents Model-based Engineering of Product Lines – SWISSED 2017 7

Orthogonal Variability Modeling (OVM) OVM is PLE approach based on ISO 26550, that has originally been developed at the PALUNO Institute of University Duisburg-Essen. OVM distinguishes two orthogonal models: • The System Model describes the components of a Product Line • The Variability Model describes selectable Options of the Product Line as well as constraints among those options By defining dependencies between options from the variability model and model items in the system model, the system model may automatically be pruned from unnecessary model items after deciding the options. Applying variability decisions on a system model results in ð successive model transformations! Model-based Engineering of Product Lines – SWISSED 2017 11

SUMMARY Model-based Engineering of Product Lines – SWISSED 2017 21

Summary • Many of today's technical products… • are built as "system of systems" • support a high degree of variability • often have (very) long lasting life cycles • Product models… • are specifications of products • are usually subject to many variant decisions • may be instantiated incrementally • OVM orthogonally supplements SysML and other modeling languages by model-based variability A Digital Twin results from the continuation of a Product Model into the "Operation" phase of the product.
