Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a revolutionary new way to think about software engineering. AOP was introduced to address crosscutting concerns such as security, logging, persistence, debugging, tracing, distribution, performance monitoring, and exception handling in a more effective manner. Unlike conventional development techniques,
which scatter the implementation of each concern into multiple classes, aspect-oriented programming localizes them.
Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) uses this approach to create a better modularity for functional and nonfunctional requirements, platform specifics, and more, allowing you to build more understandable systems that are easier to configure and extend to meet the evolving needs
of stakeholders.
In this highly anticipated new book, Ivar Jacobson and
Pan-Wei Ng demonstrate how to apply use cases-a mature and systematic approach to focusing on stakeholder
concerns-and aspect-orientation in building robust and extensible systems. Throughout the book, the authors
employ a single, real-world example of a hotel management information system to make the described theories and practices concrete and understandable.
The authors show how to identify, design, implement,
test, and refactor use-case modules, as well as extend
them. They also demonstrate how to design use-case
modules with the Unified Modeling Language (UML)-emphasizing enhancements made in UML 2.0-and how
to achieve use-case modularity using aspect technologies, notably AspectJ.
Whatever your level of experience with aspect-oriented programming, Aspect-Oriented Softwear Development with Use Cases will teach you how to develop better software
by embracing the paradigm shift to AOSD.
