Nowadays, large numbers of organizations may opt for Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), which is an enhancement to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). This is due to the addition of a number of concepts that have assisted in the production of more flexible and reusable components. One of the most important elements added by AOP is software reuse, which is based on reusability attributes. These attributes indicate the possibility of reusing one or more components in the development of a new system. It is one of the most essential attributes to evaluate the quality of a system’s components. Thus far, little attention has been paid to the process of measuring AOP reusability, and it has not yet been standardized. The objective of the current study is to come up with a reasonable measurement for AOP software reuse, which is simultaneously a significant topic for researchers while offering several advantages for organizations. Although numerous models have been built to estimate the reusability of software, most of them are not dedicated to Aspect-Oriented Software (AOS). In this study, a model has been designed for AOS reusability estimation and measurement based on a new equation depending on five attributes that have a range of positive and negative impacts on AOS reusability. Three of those attributes, namely coupling, cohesion, and design size, have been included in previous studies. This study proposes complexity and generality as two new attributes to be considered. Each of these attributes was measured based on the metrics also proposed in this study. A new equation to calculate AOS reusability was constructed based on the most important reusability attributes and metrics. Seven aspect projects were employed as a case study to apply the proposed equation. After the proposed equation was applied to the selected projects, we obtained new values of reusability to compare with the values that resulted from applying the previous equation. The fact that new values emerged indicates that the proposed reusability metrics and attributes had a significant effect.

Nowadays, large numbers of organizations may prefer Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), which is an enhancement to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). This is due to the concepts that have been added and helped in producing more flexible and reusable components. As a result, AOP has directed attention to software reuse, which is a significant topic for researchers and offers several advantages for organizations. Software reuse is based on reusability attributes which indicate the possibility of a component that was built to be reused in developing a new system. It is one of the most essential attributes to evaluate the quality of a system’s components. Many models have been built to estimate the reusability of the software but most of them are not dedicated to Aspect-Oriented Software (AOS). This study aims to establish a ground for AOS reusability estimation and measurement based on a new model and its associated equations depending on six attributes that impact AOS reusability negatively and/or positively. Four attributes of them have been included in previous studies which are coupling, cohesion, design size, and messaging. Two new attributes have been proposed in this study, which are complexity, and generality. Both of these attributes have been measured based on the metrics that have also been proposed in this study. A new equation to calculate AOS reusability has been proposed in this research work. Seven Aspect projects have been employed as a case study to apply the proposed equation.

Blockchain systems are lauded for their security and reliability. Security is a cornerstone, as they employ cryptographic techniques to ensure the immutability of data, making it extremely resistant to tampering. With decentralized networks, they also reduce the risk of a single point of failure, enhancing reliability. Model checking plays a vital role in ensuring the security and reliability of blockchain systems. However, traditional model-checking approaches face challenges in handling the inherent dynamism exhibited in blockchain systems. To overcome this challenge, Aspect-Oriented programming (AOP) offers capabilities to enhance blockchain model checking through the modularization of cross-cutting concerns, enabling traceability and monitoring, facilitating dynamic instrumentation, and supporting fine-grained property specifications. The aim of this research is to enable more effective and efficient verification of dynamic behaviors in blockchain systems compared to conventional model-checking techniques using AOP. As a result, this research introduces BlockASP, a novel blockchain model verification method that leverages AOP to analyze and monitor dynamic behavior of the blockchain system. BlockASP integrates the benefits of aspect-orientation and model checking into the blockchain architecture to strengthen security and reliability. This research has examined prior arts that are related to blockchain modeling using Objectoriented (OO) and those that are using AOP. Our research has proposed and discussed the BlockASP technique, the research provided a case study to demonstrate the validity and superiority in facilitating the monitoring of dynamic blockchain behavior using AOP compared to traditional approaches such as Model-Driven Architecture (MDA).
