Software Product Line Engineering: A Family-Based Software Development Process with CDROM: A Family-based Software Development Process

The rest of the book is an incredibly detailed reference into the authors' implementation of the FAST process. They spend two chapters bringing the reader up-to-speed on the process modeling technique called PASTA. Then they provide almost 200 pages of reference information (also included on CD-ROM) on the specifics of FAST. If you are looking for a recipe to use to try domain analysis and implementation in your company, this section covers it. If nothing else, you'll see a very well defined process modeling notation in action, one that can be used in many applications. Without any personal experience implementing the process, I hesitate to rate this section. But if the process works as well as this section is detailed, I'd give it at least 4 stars.

Its hard to say from their examples how well the FAST process will scale to industrial-size domains. But the authors have presented an easily read book with enough detail that a motivated software engineer may be able to win management support and give domain engineering a try.
