Abstract
This paper presents a case study of creating a software product line for the train signaling domain. The Train Control Language (TCL) is a DSL which automates the production of source code for computers controlling train stations. By applying the Common Variability Language (CVL), which is a separate and generic language to define variability on base models, we form a software product line of stations. We discuss the process and experience of using CVL to automate the production of three real train stations. A brief discussion about the verification needed for the generated products is also included.
