We present a constraint-based approach tointeractiveproduct configurationwith arithmetic constraints and support for optimization. Our configurator toolFdConfigis based on feature models (from software product line engineering) for the representation of the valid product variants. Such models can be directly mapped into constraint satisfaction problems and dealt with by appropriate constraint solvers. During the interactive configuration process the user generates new constraints as a result of his configuration decisions and even may retract constraints posted earlier. We discuss the configuration process, explain the underlying techniques and show optimizations.
