Klappentext

Clear and concise guide to MBPLE, with industrial case studies Written in a to-the-point style, Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) is the only theoretical and practical foundational book on MBPLE that brings together the topics of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and feature-based product line engineering (PLE). It examines how PLE can benefit from a model-based and model-centric approach and, in turn, how MBSE combined with holistic PLE can boost model reuse and improve the MBSE business case. The book combines both management and engineering aspects to deliver comprehensive coverage of the subject. The book covers real-life challenges and implementations of MBPLE, discussing adoption obstacles faced by engineering organizations and how to overcome them to ensure a successful MBPLE deployment. Dozens of SysML v2 views, SysML v1 diagrams, SysML v2 code snippets and illustrations are included throughout to elucidate key concepts. Additional supplementary learning materials are available on a companion website. Written by a team of expert authors and contributors with significant experience in the field of applied MBPLE, Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) discusses sample topics including:

• Motivation for MBPLE, covering document-based to model-based engineering, project-oriented to product-line-oriented engineering, and digital continuity and system lifecycle management
• Foundations of MBPLE, covering basic definitions, the history of MBPLE, recent MBPLE works and standards, and the impact of MBPLE on engineering processes
• Implementation of MBPLE using the next generation modeling language SysML v2

• Adoption of MBPLE, covering investment interests, company processes, change management and digital transformation, and methods, guidelines, coaching Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) delivers vision, benefits, and strategic guidance for managers, executives, and business leaders while serving as a practical guide for system engineers who are new to the MBPLE discipline or already familiar with it.
