Knowledge-Based Configuration: From Research to Business Cases
Original Kurzfassung:
In industrial software development salespeople, product managers, or technical writers frequently create documents such as offers, contracts, user manuals, or technical documentation. For products that are configured specifically for different customers, the documentation also needs to be adapted to match the product. Such adaptation of documents is tedious and error-prone and can easily lead to inconsistencies. Stakeholders thus need configuration support for adapting documents. We describe a flexible approach for automatically generating product-specific documents based on product line variability models. We report on an industrial case example of applying the approach to support configuring and generating product-specific documents in an automation software product line.
