ABSTRACT
AspectJ implementations of the GoF design patterns show modularity improvements in 17 of 23 cases. These improvements are manifested in terms of better code locality, reusability, composability, and (un)pluggability.The degree of improvement in implementation modularity varies, with the greatest improvement coming when the pattern solution structure involves crosscutting of some form, including one object playing multiple roles, many objects playing one role, or an object playing roles in multiple pattern instances.

AOSD '05: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Aspect-oriented software developmentDesign patterns offer flexible solutions to common problems in software development. Recent studies have shown that several design patterns involve crosscutting concerns. Unfortunately, object-oriented (OO) abstractions are often not able to modularize ...
