Aspects of AOP:

As software becomes increasingly complex, the need for abstraction and modularization of system functionality grows harmoniously. Limiting scope to certain aspects of functionality and building upon previous functional analyses compositionally can alleviate complexities associated with building large, sophisticated software systems. Leveraging functional decomposition, design by contract, data abstraction, and other design mechanisms can help separate concerns of system functionality into encapsulated, yet related units. Unfortunately, these traditional techniques may not be powerful enough to solidify common, global concerns that may encompass multiple aspects of functionality. The Aspect-oriented paradigm attempts to solve this problem by modularizing functionality that commonly pertains to multiple functional units, also called cross-cutting concerns. This paper explores the intricacies of the Aspect-oriented paradigm, discussing its nature, motivation, open issues, and relationship to traditional software development approaches and disciplines
