Aspect-Oriented Database Systems
Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 2004, 
XV, 176 p. 60 illus., 17 tabs., Hardcover 
ISBN: 3-540-00948-5 


Recently, a new set of software development techniques has become 
available, collectively termed Aspect-Oriented Software Development 
(AOSD). This aims to support the modularization of systemic 
properties (also referred to as crosscutting concerns) and their 
subsequent composition with the other parts of a system. 

Rashid focuses on the use of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) 
techniques to modularize otherwise broadly scoped features in 
database systems, such as the evolution or the versioning model, 
to improve their customizability, extensibility and maintainability. 
He shows how the use of AOP can transform the way we develop, use 
and maintain database systems. He also discusses how database 
systems can support AOP by providing a means for the storage and 
retrieval of aspects.

"Aspect-Oriented Database Systems" shows the possible synergy 
between AOP and database systems, and is of particular interest 
to researchers, graduate students and software developers in 
database systems and applications.

Written for: 
Researchers, professionals, graduates (in Software Engineering or 
Database Systems)

Keywords: 
Aspect-Oriented Programming, Crosscutting Concerns, Database Systems
Persistent Aspects
