Abstract. Aspect-oriented systems claim to improve modularity by providing explicit mechanisms that allow modularization of concerns which crosscut the object-oriented decompositio...
When modifying or debugging a software system, among other tasks, developers must often understand and manipulate source code that crosscuts the system’s structure. These tasks ...
Many researchers claim that crosscutting concerns, which emerge in early software development stages, are harmful to software stability. On the other hand, there is a lack of effec...
Traditional programming languages assume that real-world systems have “intuitive”, mind-independent, preexisting concept hierarchies. However, our perception of the world depen...
—Code modularization provides benefits throughout the software life cycle; however, the presence of crosscutting concerns (CCCs) in software hinders its complete modularization....
