Abstract

A number of approaches have been proposed to achieve separation of concerns. Although all these approaches form suitable candidates for separating cross-cutting concerns in a system, one approach can be more suitable for implementing certain types of concerns as compared to the others. This paper proposes a hybrid approach to separation of concerns. The approach is based on using the most suitable approach for implementing each cross-cutting concern in a system. The discussion is based on using three different approaches: composition filters, adaptive programming and aspect-oriented programming to implement cross-cutting concerns in SADES, a customisable and extensible object database evolution system.
