Modularization is a goal difficult to achieve in software development. Some requirements, named crosscutting concerns, cannot be clearly mapped into isolated source code units, and their implementations tend to cut across ...

Large-scale software applications are complex systems that involve a myriad of different concerns. Ideally, these concerns should be organized into separated and different modules, but often some of these concerns overlap ...

This article describes and illustrates how to produce modular .NET software solutions by the use of Decorator design pattern and AspectOriented Programming (AOP) tool PostSharp. We applied both techniques for modularizing ...

The occurrence of problems related to the scattering and tangling phenomenon, such as the difficulty to do system maintenance, increasingly frequent. One way to solve this problem is related to the crosscutting concerns ...

Modularization is a goal difficult to achieve in software development. Aspect mining aims to identify crosscutting concerns in non aspect oriented software allowing organizing them into aspects and, thus, improve the ...

Design of stable software architectures has increasingly been a deep challenge to software developers due to the high volatility of their concerns and respective design decisions. Architecture stability is the ability of ...
