Abstract

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is increasingly being adopted by developers to better modularize object-oriented design by introducing crosscutting concerns. However, due to tight coupling of existing approaches with the implementing code and to the poor expressiveness of the pointcut languages a number of problems became evident. We believe that such problems could be solved shifting the focus of software development from a programming language specific implementation to application design. This work presents a possible solution based on modeling aspects at a higher level of abstraction which are, in turn, transformed to specific targets.
