  abstract  = {Many companies build a portfolio of similar product variants, each
	tailored to different customer needs. The number of such product
	variants varies widely. We have observed anything between a handful
	and 1000+ variants and correspondingly large code sizes. The key
	characteristic of these product variants is that they share a high
	degree of common functionality (i.e. features) but still differ.
	Currently the state of the art investigates this problem in form
	of Software Product Lines (SPLs), which are single, configurable
	systems from which all desired product variants can be derived. The
	drawback of SPLs is that they require considerable upfront investments
	because all possible product variants need to be pre-engineered into
	SPLs. If it is not possible to predict all these product variants
	SPL approaches are problematic. And even if all product variants
	were known a-priori, not all companies could afford building them
	due to the associated high cost.},
