Synopsis

Traditionally, software architecture utilizes the principle of separation of concerns to cope with the challenge of scalability of solutions to complex problems. For instance, by encapsulating functionality into self-contained units and applying information hiding, large and complex systems are decomposed into modules that can be developed and integrated independently. In the context of non-functional concerns, however, separation of concerns does not work as well. The main solution idea of this thesis is to leverage aspect-oriented concepts at the architectural level in order to provide a means for effectively and efficiently separating communication concerns in the context of architectural design.
