Abstract

This paper describes a refactoring process transforming a Java code base into an AspectJ equivalent. The process illustrates 17 aspect-oriented refactorings covering extraction of implementation elements to aspects, internal reorganization of extracted aspects, and extraction of commonalities to superaspects.
