Abstract
This paper describes an approach for the dynamic reconfiguration of software product families. A software reconfiguration pattern is a solution to a problem in a software product family where the configuration needs to be updated while the system is operational. It defines how a set of components participating in a software pattern cooperate to change the configuration of a system from one configuration of the product family to another. An approach for the design of reconfiguration patterns and a change management model for software product families are also described. The paper concludes with a description of case studies and a proof-of-concept prototype.
