Overall goal
To understand the objectives behind platform based development; how such objectives can be realized in industrial settings and to learn how new methods and tools can be used for this purpose.

Overall contents
Scale benefits versus customization: platform strategies in industrial settings.
Object oriented platform systems engineering: the configurable component (CC) concept.
EF-M based design rationale modelling.
CC-based platform development and variant configuration: platform preparation and execution - models, methods and IT-support.
Technology platforms.
