Aspect-Oriented Programming is gaining prominence, particularly in the area of security. There are however no taxonomies available, that classify the proliferation of research done in the area of Aspect-Oriented Security. This paper attempts to categorize research outputs conducted in this area, and evaluate the usability of the aspectoriented paradigm in terms of software security.

In this paper, we discuss the benefits of using aspect-oriented programming to develop parallel applications. We use aspects to separate parallelisation concerns into three categories: partition, concurrency and distribution. The achieved modularisation enables us to assemble a variety of platform specific parallel applications, by composing combinations of (reusable) aspect modules into domain...

It is more convenient to talk about changes in a domainspecific way than to formulate them at the programming construct level or—even worse—purely lexical level. Using aspect-oriented programming, changes can be modularized and made reapplicable. In this paper, selected change types in web applications are analyzed. They are expressed in terms of general change types which, in turn, are impleme...

As aspect-oriented programming techniques move into mainstream use, it is likely that more software developers will be modeling systems with aspect-oriented features using the Unified Modeling Language. And with the Object Management Group considering revised standards for UML 2.0, it is an appropriate time to consider UML standards for aspect-oriented elements. This paper considers how aspect-...

Aspect-oriented middleware is a promising technology for the realisation of dynamic reconfiguration in heterogeneous distributed systems. However, like other dynamic reconfiguration approaches, AO-middleware-based reconfiguration requires that the consistency of the system is maintained across reconfigurations. AO-middleware-based reconfiguration is an ongoing research topic and several consist...

In this paper we describe the tool we plan to build in order to show the feasibility of aspect oriented design and demonstrate the advantages that it implies This technique allows one to independently specify cross cutting concerns and functionnal features of a system The tool would then allow the weaving of the aspects on the model one after the other creating a design model that would comply ...

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) has emerged recently as a language concept for expressing cross-cutting concerns, mainly in object-oriented software. Since then, the concept has been applied to a wide variety of other contexts. In this paper, we explore some cross-cutting concerns for parallel programs of reactive systems: we propose a notion of aspect and a weaving mechanism, in a core langu...

Effective RE must reconcile the need to achieve separation of concerns with the need to satisfy broadly scoped requirements and constraints. Techniques such as use cases and viewpoints help achieve separation of stakeholders' concerns but ensuring their consistency with global requirements and constraints is largely unsupported. In this paper we build on recent work that has emerged from the as...

In this paper we initiate a discussion of a possible process to compose crosscutting concerns with the concerns they cut across. This process should be regarded as a task of an approach to manage concerns at the requirements level. The main concepts behind this process are those of match point, conflicting aspect, dominant aspect and composition rule. A match point is where one or more crosscut...
