Abstract

Aspect-Oriented Programming separates crosscutting concerns from core business concerns. In order to integrate these two categories, aspects encapsulating crosscutting concerns are given certain capability to affect the underlying programs encapsulating core business concerns. In this paper we propose a classification of the interactive patterns between underlying programs and aspects, and uncover the influence to the underlying programs made by aspects in these interactive patterns. According to this classification we study the interactive patterns supported by ad-hoc AOP languages or frameworks and the interactive patterns involved in AOP solutions to several typical crosscutting concerns.

Keywords
