Hyper/J/spl trade/: multi-dimensional separation of concerns for Java/spl trade/

Abstract

This paper describes how to accomplish multi-dimensional separation of concerns (MDSOC) with Hyper/J/sup TM/, a tool available for free download, in the context of standard Java/sup TM/ development. Hyper/J does not require any special languages or language variants, compilers, development environments, or processes - it works with standard Java, using any compiler, development environment, methodology and process. It can be used at any stage of the software lifecycle - from design and initial development of code, to the evolution of pre-existing code (whether or not it was developed using Hyper/J), to the adaptation and integration of separately developed components.
