[aspectj-users] AOP Master Thesis

[Steffen Euch <steffen.euch@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm studying "Computer Science and Media" and I'm going to write my 
master thesis about a AOP topic. I'm planning to concentrate on AOP in 
connection with J2EE. I would welcome some comments or thoughts what you 
think about it.

Following is short outline of what I'm planning to write so far:

- Weaknesses of OOP and J2EE
- Introduction of AOP (aspects, join points, advices/interceptors, 
aspect weaver, domains or problems where AOP can help, overview over the 
state of the research field)
- Comparison with 1 or 2 related Post OO Techniques (MDSOC or others)
- Comparison of frameworks, that could be used in connection with J2EE 
(AspectJ, JBoss, ...)
- AO Software Development Techniques and their applicability in 
connection with J2EE
- Practical evaluation of AOP on a concrete J2EE-task
- Concluding assessment of AOP in connection with J2EE

I started to read about AOP and connected research fields about a month 
ago and I have realized that the field is wider than I thought at the 
beginning. Because of this huge field, I have some difficulties to 
narrow my thesis down on a central question or problem.

Thanks for your comments!
