Abstract
This paper presents a reference frame for
configuration. The reference frame is established by
review of existing literature, and consequently it is a
theoretical frame of reference. The review of
literature shows a deterioration of the understanding
of configuration. Most recent literature reports on
configuration systems in the shape of anecdotal
reporting on the development of information systems
that perhaps support the configuration task – perhaps
not. Consequently, the definition of configuration has
become ambiguous as different research groups
defines configuration differently. This paper propose
a reference frame for configuration that permits 1) a
more precise understanding of a configuration
system, 2) a understanding of how the configuration
system relate to other systems, and 3) a definition of
the basic concepts in configuration. The total
configuration system, together with the definition of
key concepts, comprises a strong frame of reference
when working with analysing configuration systems
