Aspect-oriented software development is emerging as a proven approach for

allowing the separate expression of multiple concerns, along with "weaving"

technologies for knitting together these separate expressions into coherent

systems. In other words, it offers great promise as an approach to simplifying

the development of complex modern software systems. Many expert observers

view AOSD as a worthwhile successor to the popular object-oriented paradigm

that is prevalent in contemporary software engineering. In this new book,

AOSD experts Clarke and Baniassad apply proven theory to the practical realm

of real-world development. The result is an applicable and easy-to-digest

methodology for simplifying and optimizing the development of thoroughly

modern software systems.
