Dealing with crosscutting concerns in existing software
Leon Moonen · 2008
This paper provides a roadmap for dealing with crosscutting concerns while trying to understand, maintain, and evolve existing software systems. We describe an integrated, systematic, approach that helps a software engineer with identifying, documenting and migrating crosscutting concerns in the source code of a software system, and discuss the integration considerations. We conclude with a number of lessons learned and directions for future research.
