  abstract  = {Software Product Lines (SPLs) are families of related systems whose
	members are distinguished by the set of features they provide. Over
	two decades of research and practice can attest to the substantial
	benefits of applying SPL practices such as better customization,
	improved software reuse, and faster time to market. Typical SPLs
	involve large number of features which are combined to form also
	large numbers of products, implemented using multiple and different
	types of software artifacts. Because of the sheer amount of information
	and its complexity visualization techniques have been used at different
	stages of the life cycle of SPLs. In this paper we present a systematic
	mapping study on this subject. Our research questions aim to gather
	information regarding the techniques that have been applied, at what
	stages, how they were implemented, and the publication fora employed.
	Our goal is to identify common trends, gaps, and opportunities for
	further research and application.},
