Incorporating Software Product Line Knowledge into Requirements Processes

Developing customer-specific software systems with reuse is often less efficient than expected. One important reason is that the elicitation and negotiation of customer requirements is not systematically supported yet, and it heavily relies on experts to assure that their expectations are compatible with the constraints of given reuse assets. To cope with this challenge, this thesis aims at improving the effectiveness of elicitation by providing requirements engineers with better knowledge about the reuse asset base.
