Representing Aspects in Design

Identification of cross-cutting concerns (Aspects) in the earliest phases of software development has gained in popularity over recent years. Many approaches have been suggested for identifying and representing Aspects in abstraction and design structures. Since these approaches are still relatively immature, shortcomings such as overlooking or not properly locating Aspects have been noted in almost all of these approaches. This research proposes an Aspect- Oriented Software Development Model which helps identifying Aspects at the early stages of software development and guides the way to interpret these Aspects into Design elements and finally provides a support to weave Aspects into Base program.
