Abstract
This paper deals with deriving software products from a software product line (SPL) in an efficient and automated way. We present an approach that (1) represents the SPL with a set of integrated models, (2) specifies variability and configuration options for possible product variants and (3) automatically derives executable products with model transformations and aspect-oriented techniques. The approach is discussed with a sample SPL of scientific calculators.
