Approaches to aspect oriented design: a study

ABSTRACT

There is a need to study various approaches in the use of object-oriented design patterns and aspect oriented design approach in enterprise systems for architecture and its implementation. The development of aspect oriented requirements gathering approach, design notation and environment for development of enterprise systems needs to be further refined in the context of software applications and industry. Current development in aspects and the path to future work in this direction is highlighted regarding developing a general-purpose design language for aspect oriented software development.
