Abstract (EN): Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) deals with what are called cross-cutting concerns. AOP practitioners believe that single abstraction frameworks (like OOP) are not sufficiently powerful to separate cross-cutting concerns. They also state that the tangling of concerns is one of the major contributors to the complexity of large software applications. This paper will show some typical examples of concerns that are difficult to separate from the main core of the application. It will also exemplify how AOP can be used to describe each one of those concerns in a separate and natural form. Finally an overview of where AOP research is heading towards will be described.
