Abstract
The common architecture is a central asset of a product family. But in many cases variations in quality requirements between family members make it difficult to standardise architectural solutions across the family. Therefore the common architecture has to support variation. In this paper we propose an approach to product family architecture design, modelling and use based on architecture patterns and their relationship to quality attributes that supports the representation of an open architecture and the specialisation of this architecture to meet product specific quality requirements.
