Could you elaborate more? Will you be recognizing aspects in base-code
of AOP systems or OO systems that do not *yet* contain any aspects? In
either case, however, you probably want to look at the fields of "aspect
mining" and "aspect refactoring." Although there is much work being done
in both these fields, I am not quite sure if there is any work in
recognizing aspects in AOP systems, possibility leveraging
characteristics of existing aspects to help find new ones in the
base-code. Any thoughts?
