Abstract
The aspect-oriented paradigm aims to modularize concerns that crosscut traditional abstraction boundaries. In the AOSD community, there is an increasing interest in the development of reusable implementations of typical crosscutting concerns, such as security, synchronization, profiling, etc. To employ a reusable aspect in a concrete application, deployment logic has to be written that specifies where and how to apply the new behavior, and how the interaction with the base application and the other aspects in the system is organized. We have analyzed the means for the specification of such deployment logic in current aspect-oriented technologies and have identified a number of issues regarding its reuse, its dynamic invocation and its integration with the rest of the system. With the knowledge gained, we propose important first steps towards better support for the specification of deployment logic.
