Fourth DoD Product Line Practice Workshop Report

The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) held the Fourth Department of Defense (DoD) Software Product Line Practice Workshop in March 2001. 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 the current gap between commercial best practice and DoD practice can be bridged; and to obtain feedback on the first draft of the DoD Acquisition Companion to the Framework for Software Product Line Practice written by the SEI. This report synthesizes the workshop presentations and discussions.
