  abstract  = {Softwareproduct lines (SPLs) are familiesof related systemswhosemembersare
	distinguishedby the set of features theyprovide.Over2decadesof research
	andpractice can attest to the substantial benefits of applying SPL
	practices such as better customization, improved software reuse,
	and faster time to market. Software product line engineering (SPLE)
	refers to the paradigm of developing SPLs. Typical SPLE efforts involve
	a large number of features that are combined to form also large numbers
	of products, implemented using multiple and different types of software
	artifacts. Becauseof thesheeramountof information anditscomplexity,
	visualization techniqueshavebeen used for different SPLE activities.
	In this paper,wepresent an extended systematic mapping study on this
	subject. Our research questions aim to gather information regarding
	the techniques that have been applied, at what SPLE activities,howthey
	were implemented, the publication fora used, the methods of empirical
	evaluation, and the provenance of the evaluation examples. Our driving
	goal is to identify common trends, gaps, and opportunities for further
	research and application.},
