Abstract
Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) has focused on improving the modularity of the crosscutting concerns. The existing AOP methodology has been mainly focused on the implementation method of programs and thus developer-oriented concern extraction and development were performed. Recently, many studies for applying AOP to the entire software development processes ranging from requirement analysis to design and implementation are being conducted. But specification methods having consistency from the initial phase of concern extraction to implementation phase are not sufficient. In this paper, we have presented the specification of crosscutting concerns so as to solve these problems. The specification of crosscutting concerns provides guidelines and specification from the requirement analysis phase to the process of converting extracted crosscutting concerns to codes. This method reduces the gap to the process of mapping extracted crosscutting concerns into a single class and thus enhances program development and understandability. In addition, it raises program reusability, maintenance and extensibility by enhancing traceability.
