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.

DeltaJ 1.5: delta-oriented programming for Java 1.5

TL;DR: DOP for Java 1.5 is presented, extending previous proof-of-concept realizations of DOP for simple core Java-like languages and improving the specification of the product line declaration by providing a separate language.

Product-line architectures

TL;DR: A set of products can be managed as a group, planning the whole set consistently, allocating funding and developers to several of the products at the same time and advertising the products as a set, highlighting their common and varying features.

Testing aspect-oriented programming Pointcut Descriptors

TL;DR: This paper describes the types of faults that can occur in PCDs -- in terms of selected join points -- and presents a two-step strategy to help the tester identifying extra join points selected by PCDs; and provides motivating examples and directions for both.

Using background colors to support program comprehension in software product lines

TL;DR: A controlled experiment with a large real-world SPL with over 160,000 lines of code and 340 features shows that background colors can improve program comprehension in large SPLs.

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 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.
