A Toolset for Feature-Based Configuration Workflows

In software product lines, engineers derive products using feature-based configurators. Such tools do not scale well to complex (non linear, multi-user) configuration processes. We address this issue by extending a feature-based configurator with multi-view support and by integrating it with a workflow management tool.
