\subsection{Configuration State}
In group-based configuration (also known as collaborative or group configuration) a group instead of a single user is set to configure a configuration. This entails challenges in terms of synchronising workspaces and keeping the data consistent for every group member. \citeauthor{raabKollaborativeProduktkonfigurationEchtzeit2019}'s \cite{raabKollaborativeProduktkonfigurationEchtzeit2019} approach, which this thesis extends, is to treat the group configuration the same as one shared configuration and to sync the selection of attributes across clients.
A \emph{configuration} $S$ will be defined as a tuple of variables (\autoref{eq:Foundations:ProductConfiguration:Variables}) and their corresponding domain value with
\begin{equation} \label{eq:Foundations:ProductConfiguration:ConfigurationState}
S = \{ (v_i,\ d) \ |\ v_i \in V \ \land \ d \in \mathfrak{D}(i),\ i=1,\dotsc,m \}.
\end{equation}
Essentially it is a set of variables and assigned values.
\subsection{Finished Configuration}
To define what a \emph{finished configuration} is, it is required to first define what it means for a configuration to be valid. Therefore $is\_valid$ is defined as
\begin{equation} \label{eq:Foundations:ProductConfiguration:IsValid}
is\_valid : S \to \{true, false\}; x \mapsto
\begin{cases}
true, & S \in solution\_space \\
false, & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases},
\end{equation}
with $solution\_space$ being the solution space of the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem. A \emph{finished configuration} $S_F$ is a configuration that contains all variables and is a valid configuration:
\begin{equation} \label{eq:Foundations:ProductConfiguration:FinishedConfiguration}
S_F \subset S,\ where \ \forall v_i \in V (\exists (v_i, d) \in S_F : d \in \mathfrak{D}(i)) \land is\_valid(S_F).
\end{equation}
In practice a finished configuration of a product (or solution) is something that is ready to be produced. For example if a care is being configured, this means that the car could be produced in the specified way that is given by the finished configuration.
\section{Group-Based Product Configuration}
\subsection{Group-Based Product Configuration}
\label{sec:Foundations:GroupBasedProductConfiguration}
Instead of a single person configuring a product, a group of people is configuring one product which can be useful in multi-stakeholder decisions. This setting needs mechanisms for describing the preferences of multiple people. Therefore to the definitions there will be added a set of users $U$ with
\begin{equation}\label{eq:Foundations:ProductConfiguration:Users}
U = \{1, \dotsc, n\},
\end{equation}
a users \emph{utility function} that maps a domain value to a utility value and is only known to the user
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
u_i(d_j), \qquad \text{where}\ & d_j \in \mathfrak{D}(j),\\
& 1 <= j <= m, \\
& 1 <= i <= n .
\end{split}
\end{equation}
