Towards Engineering Product Lines Using Concerns

Separation of concerns is accepted as introducing numerous benefits into software development and maintenance. In this position paper, we argue for a method that introduces separation of concerns into product line software engineering. The method covers the complete product line life cycle and integrates the different concerns expressed at the different product line life cycle stages.
