Abstract
Product configuration systems play an important
role in the development of Mass Customisation.
The configuration of complex product families may
nowadays involve multiple design disciplines, e.g.
hardware, software and services. In this paper, we
present a conceptual approach for modelling the
variability in such heterogeneous product families.
Our approach is based on a framework that aims
to cater for the different stakeholders involved in
the modelling and management of the product family.
The modelling approach is centred around the
concepts of views, types and constraints and is illustrated
by a motivation example. Furthermore, as a
proof of concept, a prototype has been implemented
for configuring a non-trivial heterogeneous product
family.
