Chapter 4 in Product Information Management for Mass Customization, 2006, pp 51-66 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When the product configuration tasks increase in complexity, traditional approaches show serious deficiencies. This chapter illustrates how modern configuration systems overcome the difficulties of product configuration. In particular the chapter: describes modern configuration software architecture, pointing out its fundamental components and functions; illustrates the concept of a configuration system, considered as a set of technical and human resources; discusses different alternatives for the definition of a configuration system; delimits the domain where product configurators are applicable, distinguishing them from selectors and meta-configurators.
