Invited Talk Understanding Aspects (Extended Abstract) Mitchell Wandâ College of Computer and Information Science Northeastern University Boston, MA 02115, USA wand@ccs.neu.edu 1 Background Since the mid-90 s, Kiczales and others have identi ed new limitations of traditional layered architectures for complex systems. The most serious of these new limitations is the problem of scattering. A typical large system requires many services, such as logging, locking, authentication, etc. While the functionality to implement a particular service may be located in a single module, the code to invoke the service is typically scattered across many modules. Kiczales s solution was to use a special-purpose language to give a declarative speci cation of where or when each service should be invoked. A service typically takes the form of a class called an aspect, possibly containing several methods. The potential points at which a method of an aspect can be invoked are called join points, and each method of the aspect is associated with a point cut, which is the set of join points at which it should act. Kiczales called this aspect-oriented programming (AOP). This idea has attracted widespread attention in the software-engineering community. Different aspect-oriented programming languages use different join-point
