Product configuration is a process consisting of a series of decision tasks whereby a product is constructed of components which interact with each other. During a configuration process no new components are created their interplay and specification is defined beforehand \cite[~ p. 42-43]{sabinProductConfigurationFrameworksa1998}.

\label{Foundations:GroupBasedProductConfiguration}
To define group-based product configuration we extend the definition (\ref{Foundations:ProductConfiguration}) to
\[
C_{PREF} = \bigcup
PREF_i \]
with preferences of user \( i \) as \( PREF_i \) \cite{ felferningGroupBasedConfiguration2016}.
\section{Group-Based Configuration-Solution}
\label{Foundations:GroupBasedConfigurationSolution}
\ref{Foundations:ProductConfiguration} and \ref{Foundations:GroupBasedProductConfiguration} expand to a solution of a group-based configuration with the addition of variable assignments
\[
C_{CONF} = \bigcup_{v_i \in V} \{ v_i = x_i \}, \ x_i \in dom(v_i)
\]
and where \( C_{CONF} \cup C_{PREF} \cup C_{KB} \) is consistent \cite{ felferningGroupBasedConfiguration2016}.
