Features: "Developers who use aspect-oriented programming will appreciate this book. The authors are leading figures in the field, summarizing past research results and establishing detailed methodologies and notations for aspects." – Ron Bodkin, Chief Technology Officer of NewAspects of Software
"Aspect-oriented programming is a powerful method for complex system design. Applying this method during modeling and design also yields significant benefits. The Theme method in this book provides developers with means to apply aspect-oriented programming early in the software development process, which is an important advancement in the practice of AOP." – Ramnivas Laddad, author of "AspectJ in Action"
Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) can express multiple concerns of complex systems separately and then synthesize these independent expressions into a unified system using "weaving" techniques. Many experts consider AOSD to be the successor of object-oriented paradigms, greatly simplifying the development of complex systems. Both authors are experts in AOSD and apply theory to practical development in this book. They explain various types of aspects, help readers identify aspects, and provide guidance on designing and implementing aspects. This methodology can be integrated into various software development processes, simplifying the development of software systems. For developers who are confused by common issues (such as "What is an aspect?" "Which aspects should be coded?" "How to design aspects?"), this book is very useful. It can serve as a starting point for readers to think about aspects and help them solve related problems in requirements analysis and design. At the same time, experienced AOP developers can gain a deeper understanding of different decomposition models, as well as how to identify aspect functions in requirements documents, design aspects, and map aspects to implementation. The Theme method established by the authors can flexibly identify aspect functions and provides a UML-based design modeling language to describe aspects. In short, this book has practical value for both developers and analysis designers.
