摘要：Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is an emergent technology for the modularization of
crosscutting concern. The most used approach to support the AOP paradigm is based on the aspect
notion, as the basic unit that contains the crosscutting concern logic and a method that relates it to the
functional components (pointcuts, advices, join-points). This mechanism, popularized by tools like
AspectJ, restricts and limits the handling of conflicts among aspects. In this work a flexible, wider and
powerful approach is presented. This strategy is based on two main mechanisms: definition of
associations and explicit rules. The approach presented is implemented in a prototype denominated
MEDIATOR.
