Aspect-Oriented Programming with Eclipse AspectJ Development Tools

Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is one of the hottest research areas in the development of information technology during these years. People have found many programming problems for which the traditional Object- Oriented Programming (OOP) model is not sufficient to clearly capture some of the important design decisions the program must implement. This problem is much more obvious in Pervasive Computing Environment due to the variety of environment. This article is an introduction to a programming paradigm called Aspect-Oriented Programming, a programming technique that makes it possible to express those programs that OOP fail to support. This article also includes an introduction to AspectJ.
