Aspect-Oriented Programming promises separation of concerns at the implementation level.
However, aspects are not always orrthogonal and aspect interaction is a fundamental …

Two programming paradigms are gaining attention in the overlapping fields of software
product lines (SPLs) and incremental software development (ISD). Feature-oriented …

Aspect-oriented programming has become an increasingly important means of expressing
cross-cutting program abstractions. Despite this, aspects lack support for computer-aided …

Generic categories of aspects are described, and their potential value is explained. For
some categories, broad classes of syntactically identifiable temporal properties, such as …

Support for the incremental design of aspects themselves has been neglected, even as the
use of aspects in conjunction with underlying systems is gaining acceptance. The ways in …

Programs are increasingly organized around features, which are encapsulated using
aspects and other linguistic mechanisms. Despite their growing popularity amongst …

Aspects that in isolation behave correctly, may interact when being combined. When
interaction changes an aspect's behaviour or disables an aspect, we call this interference …

While it is well-known that crosscutting concerns occur in many software projects, little is
known on how aspect-oriented programming and in particular AspectJ have been used. In …
