摘要：Discrete event simulation (DES) projectsimplement several crosscutting concerns,such as event scheduling, event handling,and keeping track of a simulation’s statewhich tend to produce a tangling andscattering simulation code. This increasesthe complexity and reduces themaintainability which requires specificseparation of concerns (SOC). The aspectoriented programming (AOP) paradigm putsa greater focus on crosscutting concerns thanother language paradigms. It provideslanguage mechanisms such as the prominentAspectJ, that explicitly capture crosscuttingconcerns in a modular way and thusachieving the benefits that results fromimproved modularity; code that is easier todesign, implement, maintain, reuse andevolve. In this paper, we present the mostbenefits of using the aspect orientedprogramming paradigm in the simulationmodeling field. Besides that, we identify themain crosscutting concerns for a discreteevent simulator.
