Aspect-oriented programming

For any given joinpoint p, we have a set advice(p) of pieces of advice that match p. (This set may of course be empty.) This leads to the partial order ...more on Wikipedia about "Advice execution as partial order over the control flow"

In aspect-oriented programming a piece of advice describes a certain function, method or procedure that is to be applied at a given join point of a program. ...more on Wikipedia about "Advice in aspect-oriented programming"

In software engineering, the programming paradigm of aspect-oriented programming (AOP), also called aspect-oriented software development (AOSD), attempts to aid programmers in the separation of concerns, or the breaking down of a program into distinct parts that overlap in functionality as little as possible. In particular, AOP focuses on the modularization and encapsulation of cross-cutting concerns. ...more on Wikipedia about "Aspect-oriented programming"

AspectJ is an aspect-oriented extension to the Java programming language created at Xerox PARC by Chris Maeda, who originally coined the term "aspect-oriented programming" (no one remembers exactly when). Gregor Kiczales coined the term "crosscutting". The Xerox group's work was integrated into the Eclipse Foundation's Eclipse Java IDE in December 2002. This helped AspectJ become one of the most widely-used aspect-oriented languages. ...more on Wikipedia about "AspectJ"

In computer science, a join point is a point in the flow of a program. In aspect-oriented programming a set of join points is described, so that it can be referred to as a pointcut. A join point is where the main program and the aspect meets. ...more on Wikipedia about "Join point"

In aspect-oriented computer programming, a pointcut is a set of join points. Whenever the program execution reaches one of the join points described in the pointcut, a piece of code associated with the pointcut (called advice) is executed. This allows a programmer to describe where and when additional code should be executed in addition to an already defined behaviour. This permits the addition of aspects to existing software, or the design of software with a clear separation of concerns, wherein the programmer weaves (merges) different aspects into a complete application. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pointcut"
