Implementation of software product lines and reusable components

This report documents the presented papers and discussions from the workshop on "Implementation of Software Product Lines and Reusable Components", which has been held in conjunction of the 8th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 8) in Madrid, Spain in July 2004. The workshop dealed with comparing strengths and limitations of all kinds of paradigms and techniques for implementing reuse architectures and reusable components, which includes (implementation) views of product line architectures, component configuration and integration, configuration management, frameworks and design patterns, code generation, etc. At the workshop contributions were presented and discussed extensively, as well as systematically analyzed. Focus was always on the evaluation and comparison of the different techniques or paradigms, which were based on participants' experience gained from industrial or research projects (case studies or surveys).
