The envisioned platform is used to manage process variants for families of service-oriented applications and to enable the process-based instantiation of such service-oriented application families. An important aspect of this goal is the modelling of variant-rich or generic processes that capture processes for a number of related applications. In this report, we present a number of analyses that together investigate the current state-of-the-art and state-of-the practice for modelling variant-rich processes for the e-Business domain and automotive application domain. The results of these analyses will be used in the further course of the PESOA project to develop techniques for modelling variant-rich processes and for using them to specify families of service-oriented applications. We analyze domain engineering techniques as a way to bring variability in processes. Additionally, we look at requirements posed by the two considered application domains, the e-Business domain and the automotive domain, as well as languages for process modelling.enPESOAsoftware product linedomain engineeringprocess modelingE-businessservice-oriented applicationautomotive engineeringautomotive industry004005006report
