Hyper/J™: Multi-dimensional separation of concerns for Java™

Abstract

To accomplish multi-dimensional separation of concerns (MDSOC) with Hyper/JTM, a tool available for free download, in the context of standard JavaTM development is described. Hyper/J does not require any special languages or language variants, compilers, development environments, or processes-it works with standard Java, using any compiler, development environment, methodology and process. It can be used at any stage of the software lifecycle-from design and initial development of code, to the evolution of pre-existing code, to the adaptation and integration of separately developed components.
