IASA02: Service Aspects—Aspect Orientated Designs in Distributed Enterprise Architecture
Adnan Masood
Aspect Oriented Programming and Aspect-Oriented software development (AOSD) support the software development paradigm which leverages separation of concerns, especially cross-cutting concerns as a next step to modularization. Separation of concerns can be defined as breaking down a program into distinct parts that overlap in functionality as little as possible. The similar concerns are factored and defined as aspects which are separated out from the main logic making the implementation more maintainable. In this session we approach the service orientation as an aspect of a distributed system. Using attribute oriented design for aspect implementation, this presentation focuses on merits of exposing service end points from business objects by using AOP practices. The attendees will: gather the understanding of AOP, a fast growing research and development area in modern software development; understand the state of affairs of AOP in the current IDE’s and programming languages especially with Spring, AspectJ and Aspect.NET; explore the rationale of aspect-based nature of services and deep dive into the open source ServiceAspect CodePlex project for a sample implementation. This session’s focus is the architecture and design practices that AOSD brings to the enterprise architecture. Best practices and design patterns followed in AOP will be discussed with a demo of Aspect.NET and ServiceAspect, which is used to publish business objects as WCF services using attributes.
