Abstract

The concepts underpinning Aspect Oriented Software Development (AOSD) have been with us for many years. The last couple of years have been particularly exciting, with much of the promise brought into sharp reality. The timing for our industry couldn't be more critical; urgent help is needed to address the growing software complexity crisis. Deployment of uniform implementations of cross-cutting concerns into a range of software products is now feasible, and large and complex software can be factored and recomposed into simpler, better targeted, higher quality offerings. In this talk we describe how IBM® plans to put this technology into production to simplify the delivery and service of high quality software, to deliver new solutions for our customers' development requirements, to create opportunities for customers to add value to their software, and to accelerate new initiatives at the heart of IBM's software strategy.
