Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD)
provides effective modularization and composition
mechanisms and can be applied at any stage of the
software lifecycle. Aspect composition is a crucial feature
of AOSD since it allows a developer to get an overall
understanding of a system and better analyze the impact
of a concern to a set of other concerns. The effort
involved in composition, however, may vary depending on
the lifecycle stage at which it is applied.
This paper compares two methods of composing
aspects during the early stages of the lifecycle. In both
cases, scenarios and aspectual scenarios are developed
for concerns and aspects, respectively. In the first method,
the aspectual scenarios are composed immediately. In the
second one, they are composed only after the scenarios
have been converted to individual object behavioral
descriptions. A comparison of the composition effort
involved is made based on results of a case study.
