Abstract
In the context of an industrial project in the domain of slot machines, we needed to perform Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering, with a special emphasis on dependencies and interactions among concerns. The critical importance of interactions in this domain demanded explicit and detailed documentation of all interactions. We evaluated two AORE approaches: Theme/Doc and MDSOCRE, to establish their applicability in our setting. In this work we report on our experience, showing successful uses of both approaches and also where they fall short. To address these limitations, we have proposed some enhancements for both approaches and we present them here as well.

Notes
- 1.
We use the terms Base and crosscutting concerns as usual in the AOSD community.
- 2.
Licensing issues prevent us to use the real protocol name and disclosing implementation details.
