In software product line engineering, the construction of an ADL architecture for a product family is still an outstanding engineering challenge. An ADL architecture for a product family would define the architectures for all the products in the family, allowing engineers to reason at a higher level of abstraction. In this paper, we outline a component model that can be used to define architectures for product families, by incorporating explicit variation points.
