Management of Complexity by Peter Hale
Cagle (2006) explains that "You can never eliminate complexity from a system, you can only move it from place to place". The purpose of my research is to allow software developers to deal with complexity as far as possible in order to leave the end-user free to model their own problems. ... A diagrammatic representation of the cross-cutting concerns can then be translated into a computer language representation such as AspectJ for Java (Kiczales et al, 2001) and AspectXML for XML (eXtensible Markup Language) (Peterson, 2005).
