Aspect-Oriented Software Development
- Aspect-oriented tools and research projects for various languages; applications of AOP; theory; events calendar; discussion and announcement mailing lists.
AOP Alliance - Project of some software engineering people interested in AOP and Java. Goal: facilitate and standardize AOP use to enhance extant environments for middleware (e.g., J2EE), or development (e.g., Eclipse, JBuilder). License: public domain.
AOP: Aspect-Oriented Programming - Methodology enabling modularizing of crosscutting concerns. Experience shows that with standard procedural or object-oriented languages it can be hard to modularize many design concerns. Outgrowth of Xerox PARC OO programming research.
AOPWorld - A platform to learn, discuss, debate, share ideas or knowledge on any and every thing about aspect-oriented programming; news, articles, weblogs, links.
Aspect-Oriented Decomposition and Composition - Free chapter from the book "Generative Programming" - covers basic concepts of AOP with examples in C++, Java, Smalltalk, and in AspectJ, Demeter, SOP and Composition Filters; and techniques for implementing weaving.
Aspect-Oriented Software Engineering at Lancaster University - Rashid et al. work on aspect-oriented programming, specification, and databases.
Composition Filters - Modular, orthogonal, aspect-oriented filters which are attached to classes and intercept messages.
C-SAW - Constraint-Specification Aspect Weaver: 2-level weaving to support model-driven program transformation; project merges aspect model weaving, with model driven program transformation, to form technology to rapidly transform legacy systems via high-level traits described in models.
Multi-Dimensional Separation of Concerns: Software Engineering using Hyperspaces - Hyperspaces allow software enginners to split code - and other software artifacts such as requirements and design documents - along multiple concern dimensions, and recombine them automatically.
New Aspects of Software - Consulting, training for development and integration projects and application architecture. Focus: integrating Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) with lightweight Java, to build more adaptable software.
Wikipedia: Aspect-Oriented Programming - Encyclopedia article, with links to many related topics.
Work on AOP, components and reflection - Includes bibliography of aspect-oriented publications, sorted by year and by author.
XWeaver - An overview of the aspect weaver that operates on XML representation of the C/C++ source code. The weaver is designed to be modular, extensible and non-intrusive.
Aspect-Oriented Modeling Workshop - Professor Omar Aldawud's page on AOM event which assembled researchers and practitioners from two communities, aspect-oriented software development (AOSD), and software model engineering; 11-15 October 2004; Lisbon, Portugal. (October 11, 2004)
Second International Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Modeling with UML - Held together with Fifth International Conference on the Unified Modeling Language, the Language and its Applications. 30 September - 4 October 2002; Dresden, Germany. Position papers and workshop agenda. (September 30, 2002)
Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Programming and Separation of Concerns - Proceedings of the workshop are available for free download. [Lancaster University, UK] (August 23, 2001)
MIT Technology Review and Aspect-Oriented and Adaptive Programming - Cites AOP as one of top 10 innovations, predicts that the power of aspect-orientation to separate previously hard-to-disentangle concerns will make it a big success. (January, 2001)
Aspectual Components - Paper on the integration of work on aspect-oriented programming, software architecture and component-based software development. (March, 1999)
