  text: "Mobile app stores like Apple's AppStore or Google's PlayStore are highly
    competitive markets for third-party developers wanting to develop successful applications.
    During the development process, many developers focus on the multitude of product
    functions but neglect the business model as an equally important part. As a result,
    developers often fail to meet customer needs, leading to unnecessary development
    costs and poor market penetration. This, in turn, raises the question of how we
    intertwine the business model and product functions during the development process
    to ensure a better alignment between the two.\r\nIn this paper, we show this intertwined
    development by adapting the concept of Twin Peaks to the business model and product
    functions. Based on feature modeling as an abstraction layer, we introduce the
    concept of a Business Model Decision Line (BMDL) to structure the business model
    decisions and their relation to product functions structured in a Software Product
    Line (SPL). The basis of our feature models is the analysis of top listed applications
    in the app stores of Apple and Google. To create and modify both models, we provide
    an incremental feature structuring and iterative feature selection process. This
    combination of abstraction layer and development process supports third-party
    developers to build successful applications both from a business and a product
    perspective. \r\n"
