Abstract
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a technique for improving separation of concerns in software design and implementation. AOP works by providing explicit mechanisms for capturing the structure of crosscutting concerns. This tutorial shows how to use AOP to implement crosscutting conerns in a concise modular way. It works with AspectJ, a seamless aspect-oriented extension to the Java(tm) programming language, and with AspectC, an aspect-oriented extension to C in the style of AspectJ. It also includes a description of their underlying model, in terms of which a wide range of AOP languages can be understood.

On the criteria to be used in decomposing systems into modules

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss modularization as a mechanism for improving the flexibility and comprehensibility of a system while allowing the shortening of its development time, and the effectiveness of modularization is dependent upon the criteria used in dividing the system into modules.

An overview of AspectJ

TL;DR: AspectJ as mentioned in this paper is a simple and practical aspect-oriented extension to Java with just a few new constructs, AspectJ provides support for modular implementation of a range of crosscutting concerns.

An Overview of AspectJ

TL;DR: AspectJ provides support for modular implementation of a range of crosscutting concerns, and simple extensions to existing Java development environments make it possible to browse the crosscutting structure of aspects in the same kind of way as one browses the inheritance structure of classes.
