AOWP: Web-Specific AOP Framework for PHP

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a technique for modularizing crosscutting concerns (CCCs). A variety of CCCs can be found in typical Web applications. Most CCCs are scattered over Web-specific events such as page requests. AOWP, a PHP-based AOP framework, provides Web-specific aspect instantiations for dealing with session management and pointcut & advice mechanisms for capturing Web-specific events. CCCs in Web applications can be clearly modularized by introducing AOWP.
