Philips Healthcare Compositional Diversity Case

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Systems and Software Variability Management

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive description of the issues on variability management within the development of the product line of Philips Healthcare. Many issues originate from distributed and heterogeneous development. Solutions are sought in localization and hierarchical variability.
