Excellent UML for PLE Coverage

This book is great for the UML syntax. The author does a great job of putting together a UML profile for Product Line Engineering modeling, and has great examples on how to use it.

But if you decide to read it beware that it excludes many of the Architectural practices that are found in the other resources. It does not use Attribute Driven Design, Cost-Benefit Analysis, or Architectural Tradeoff Analysis.

If you get it, keep that in mind. It is only good for an artifact creation reference, not the process behind arriving at the artifacts.

I would definitely recommend it for the UML profile it has and the examples the author provides.
