Aspect Oriented Programming: Trends and Applications

Abstract

The competitive advantage of aspect oriented programming (AOP) is that it improves the maintainability and understandability of software systems by modularizing crosscutting concerns. However, some concerns, such as logging or debugging, may be overlooked and should be entangled and distributed across the code base. AOP is a software development paradigm that enables developers to capture crosscutting concerns in split-aspect modes. Additionally, it is a novel notion that has the potential to improve the quality of software programs by removing the complexity involved with the production of code tangles via the usage of separation of concerns. As a result, it provides more modularity. Throughout its early development, some believed that AOP was easier to build and maintain than other implementations since it was based on an existing one. The statements are predicated on the premise that local improvements are easier to implement. Additionally, without appropriate visualization tools for both static and dynamic structures, cross-cutting challenges may be difficult for developers and researchers to appreciate. In recent years, AspectJ has begun to enable the depiction of crosscutting concerns via the release of IDE plugins. This article explains aspect oriented programming and how it may be used to improve the readability and maintainability of software projects. Additionally, it will evaluate the challenges it presents to application developers and academics.

Improving web-oriented information systems efficiency using Redis caching mechanisms

“…Based on the basic principles of the unsigned read/write strategy [18], [26], [27], the it is reasonable to use it for caching queries that are updated with a small interval but are frequently requested. The implementation of this strategy can be achieved by applying the aspect-oriented programming paradigm [29], [30]. Such approach allows externalizing crosscutting functionality into aspects and then calling those functions when needed using advices and joint points.…”

OSM: Leveraging model checking for observing dynamic behaviors in aspect-oriented applications

“…OSM framework uniquely integrates systematic pipelines for parsing, formal verification, computational analysis, and validation. This enables rigorous monitoring of program behaviors during weaving or injection of new features (Qader, 2022).…”
