Abstract
Model driven engineering as well as software product line engineering are two approaches that increase the productivity of creating software. Despite the rather mature support of the individual approaches, tools and techniques for their combination, promising product specific customization of models, are still inadequate. We identify core problems of current approaches when applied to automation system models and propose a solution based on an explicit notion of variability embedded in the core of the modeling language itself.
