ABSTRACT
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) can be used to improve evolution in operating system code by improving modularity. Specifically, AOP can alleviate modularity problems associated with concerns that are inherently crosscutting -- no single modular decomposition can localize both the crosscutting concern and the concerns it crosscuts. This talk compares the modularity and evolution of three crosscutting concerns in their original versus aspect-oriented implementation within three releases of the FreeBSD operating system.
