Abstract
Aspect Oriented Programming allows a better separation and encapsulation of the (crosscutting) concerns by means of the “aspects”. This paper proposes an approach to identify and analyze the crosscutting relationships among identified concerns with respect to the concerns’ structure (in terms of source code elements) and their interactions due to the calls among methods. The approach has been applied to several software systems producing valid results.
