Fifth DoD Product Line Practice Workshop Report

The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) held the Fifth Department of Defense (DoD) Product Line Practice Workshop in August 2002 in conjunction with the Second Software Product Line Conference (SPLC2). The workshop was a hands-on meeting to identify industry-wide best practices in software product lines; to share DoD product line practices, experiences, and issues; to discuss ways in which specific product line practices are accomplished within the DoD; and to obtain feedback on the Version 2 pre-release draft of Software Product Line Acquisition: A Companion to a Framework for Software Product Line Practice written by the SEI. This report synthesizes the workshop presentations and discussions.
