  abstract  = {Developers maintaining distributed control systems are facing significant
	problems when dealing with changing customer requirements during
	the development and operation of industrial production facilities.
	Research has so far largely focused on implementation-level engineering
	challenges. Model-driven approaches are seen as promising for dealing
	with the increasing complexity of adapting distributed control systems.
	We present an approach for capturing architectural variability of
	distributed IEC 61499 automation and control systems based on product
	line variability models. Our automated approach supports decision-driven
	derivation and adaptation of systems at runtime.},
