Abstract
We propose a standard problem to evaluate product-line methodologies. It relies on common knowledge from Computer Science, so that domainknowledge can be easily acquired, and it is complex enough to expose the fundamental concepts of product-line methodologies. As a reference point, we present a solution to this problem using the GenVoca design methodology. We explain a series of modeling, implementation, and benchmarking issues that we encountered, so that others can understand and compare our solution with theirs.
