ABSTRACT
Aspect Oriented Programming, a relatively new programming paradigm, earned the scientific community's attention. The paradigm is already evaluated for traditional OOP and component-based software development with remarkable results. However, most of the published work, while of excellent quality, is mostly theoretical or involves evaluation of AOP for research oriented and experimental software. Unlike the previous work, this study considers the AOP paradigm for solving real-life problems, which can be faced in any commercial software. We evaluate AOP in the development of a high-performance component-based web-crawling system, and compare the process with the development of the same system without AOP. The results of the case study mostly favor the aspect oriented paradigm.

ACSEAC '12: Proceedings of the 2012 African Conference for Sofware Engineering and Applied ComputingCommercial off the Shelf Software (COTS) based development leads to a faster time to delivery for the software systems. However, the maintenance of these systems tends to be more costly as components may have to be removed or replaced, and also these ...
A case study on building COTS-based system using aspect-oriented programming
SAC '05: Proceedings of the 2005 ACM symposium on Applied computingMore and more software projects are using COTS (Commercial-off-the-shelf) components. Using COTS components brings both advantages and risks. To manage some risks in using COTS components, it is necessary to increase the reusability of the glue-code so ...
