Summary
In this paper we propose the use of event observation as first class concept for the composition of software components. The approach can be applied to any language based on concurrent components, and we illustrate it with examples on a concrete language (Omega UML) used in the specification of real-time systems. To motivate the proposal, we discuss how it may be used to support a very general form of aspect-oriented programming.
