Aspect-oriented software development beyond programming

Abstract

This tutorial focuses on applying aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) concepts beyond the programming stage of the software development life cycle. Using concrete methods, tools, techniques and notations we discuss how to use AOSD techniques to systematically treat crosscutting concerns during requirements engineering (RE), architecture design and detailed design as well as the mapping between aspects at these stages. With a clear focus on composition, modelling, trade-off analysis and assessment methods, the tutorial imparts an engineering ethos for translation into day-to-day processes and practices.
