Abstract
Systems engineering enables the successful realization of systems, focusing on defining customer needs early in the development cycle. However, when the development of systems needs to rely on legacy designs there is little methodological support. Furthermore, in the automotive domain, product diversity increases system complexity so much, that reuse becomes much more difficult and time consuming. We believe a specific strategy must be adopted to prepare for reuse and to achieve systems engineering by reuse. While product line derivation provides the means to obtain single products form a collection of assets, there is a lack of flexibility and support from a systems perspective. In this paper we present an approach which takes into account systems engineering methodological aspects in product line engineering and provides a means to develop new systems by reusing existing designs. We present the implementation of the tool support for our approach based on the Papyrus SysML modeller and exemplify the concepts through a derivation example of the electric parking brake system.
