This paper presents JAC (Java Aspect Components), a framework for aspect-oriented programming in Java. Unlike language such as AspectJ which are mostly class-based,JAC is object-based and does not require any language extensions to Java. It uses the Javassist class load-time MOP. An aspect program in JAC is a set of aspect objects that can be dynamically deployed and undeployed on top of running application objects. Aspect objects may define three kinds of aspect methods: wrapping methods (that wrap application methods and provide the ability to run code before and after the wrapped methods), role methods (that add new functionalities to application objects), and exception handlers. The aspects composition issue is handled through a well-defined wrapping controller that specifies for each wrapped object at wrap-time, runtime or both, the execution order of aspect objects.read more

The FRACTAL component model and its support in Java
TL;DR: The paper describes JULIA, a Java implementation of the FRACTAL model, a small but efficient runtime framework, which relies on a combination of interceptors and mixins for the programming of reflective features of components.

JAsCo: an aspect-oriented approach tailored for component based software development
TL;DR: A new "aspect-enabled" component model, which contains build-in traps that enable to interfere with the normal execution of a component, is proposed that is backward-compatible with the Java Beans component model.

Aspect-oriented programming
TL;DR: This work proposes to use aspect-orientation to automate the calculation of statistics for database optimization and shows how nicely the update functionality can be modularized in an aspect and how easy it is to specify the exact places and the time when statistics updates should be performed to speed up complex queries.

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.

N degrees of separation: multi-dimensional separation of concerns
TL;DR: A new paradigm for modeling and implementing software artifacts is described, one that permits separation of overlapping concerns along multiple dimensions of composition and decomposition, which addresses numerous problems throughout the software lifecycle.
