Programmation post-objets. Des langages d'aspects aux langages de composants

(Re)using and adapting components are two key issues in the field of software architecture. Yet, enterprises are still waiting for genuine off-the-shelf components. Since 20 years, object-oriented programming has become the de facto programming standard. Nevertheless objects have partially failed to address the scalability requirements introduced by the Internet. One of the unresolved challenges is the building of large software with the appropriate granularity. From this perspective, objects have given incomplete answers to the problem of component assembly and life-cycle management. We introduce the post-object age by discussing, on the one hand, the evolution from objects to components and by introducing, on the other hand the evolution from objects to aspects.
