Editing Aspect-oriented programming (section)

==History==
AOP has several direct antecedents A1 and A2:<ref>{{Cite conference |doi=10.1007/BFb0053381 |title=Aspect-oriented programming |work=Proceedings of the 11th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming |conference=[[European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming|ECOOP]]'97 |volume=1241 |pages=220–242 |series=[[Lecture Notes in Computer Science]] (LNCS) |year=1997 |last1=Kiczales |first1=G. |author1-link=Gregor Kiczales |last2=Lamping |first2=J. |last3=Mendhekar |first3=A. |last4=Maeda |first4=C. |last5=Lopes |first5=C. |last6=Loingtier |first6=J.

[[Gregor Kiczales]] and colleagues at [[Xerox PARC]] developed the explicit concept of AOP and followed this with the [[AspectJ]] AOP extension to Java. IBM's research team pursued a tool approach over a language design approach and in 2001 proposed [[Hyper/J]] and the [[Concern Manipulation Environment]], which have not seen wide use.

The examples in this article use AspectJ.

The [[Microsoft Transaction Server]] is considered to be the first major application of AOP followed by [[Enterprise JavaBeans]].<ref name="BoxSells2002">{{cite book|author1=Don Box|author2=Chris Sells|title=Essential.NET: The common language runtime|url=https://archive.org/details/essentialnetcomm01boxd|url-access=registration|access-date=4 October 2011|date=4 November 2002|publisher=Addison-Wesley Professional|isbn=978-0-201-73411-9|page=[https://archive.org/details/essentialnetcomm01boxd/page/206 206]}}</ref><ref name="RomanSriganesh2005">{{cite book|last1=Roman|first1=Ed|last2=Sriganesh|first2=Rima Patel|last3=Brose|first3=Gerald|title=Mastering Enterprise JavaBeans|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=60oym_-uu3EC&pg=PA285|access-date=4 October 2011|date=1 January 2005|publisher=John Wiley and Sons|isbn=978-0-7645-8492-3|page=285}}</ref>
