  text: "The development of today’s technical products (e.g., in automation) is characterized
    by high customer expectations regarding the product individualization, which causes
    a wide range of product variants. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can
    apply classical approaches from product line engineering, like feature modeling,
    to cope with the variability and the induced development complexity. Our tool
    support for feature models integrates a variety of feature model extensions like
    feature attributes and properties, logical constraints between features and feature
    properties, and the distinction between features and feature realizations. Furthermore,
    technical products have geometrical dimensions. The OEM specifies Computer Aided
    Design (CAD) models to consider these geometric dimensions and to virtually layout
    particular product variants. Geometric assembly constraints specify how parts
    of the product can be arranged in a CAD model. However, a potential product customer
    cannot configure an individual product variant and virtually layout this variant
    in the same software tool since the respective information stems from different
    sources. In order to cope with this problem, we present in this paper an extension
    of our tool support for feature models to specify geometric assembly constraints.
    Based on the proposed extension, we outline our research roadmap to consider these
    constraints in an online shop of an e-commerce system, in which a potential customer
    shall be able to configure a product variant and to virtually layout it according
    to the assembly constraints.\r\n"
