Chapter Events

Join us for our 13 May 2025 Chapter meeting featuring:

Presenter: Marco Forlingieri

Topic: MBPLE: The Feature-Based Path to Product Lines Success

Abstract: Join us for the presentation as Marco presents a clear and concise guide to MBPLE, with industrial case studies described in his book. Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) is the only theoretical and practical foundational book on MBPLE that brings together the topics of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and feature-based product line engineering (PLE). It examines how PLE can benefit from a model-based and model-centric approach and, in turn, how MBSE combined with holistic PLE can boost model reuse and improve the MBSE business case.

The book combines both management and engineering aspects to deliver comprehensive coverage of the subject and real-life challenges and implementations of MBPLE, discussing adoption obstacles faced by engineering organizations and how to overcome them to ensure a successful MBPLE deployment.

Bio:  Marco Forlingieri is Senior Director for PLE Services at PTC, leading worldwide the PLE technical services, with several years of experience in PLE and MBSE domains across Asia, Europe and US. He is also chair of the INCOSE PLE International Working Group and leading author of the book “MBPLE: The Feature-Based Path to Product Lines Success”.
