An applying aspect-oriented concept to sequential logic design

Because of rapid hardware design's evolution, hardware circuits are more complex. Hardware designer would not spend too much time to produce the circuits. One of hardware designers' problems is redesigning of circuit occurring when specifications were changed. The existing research proves that object-oriented concept can be applied efficiently in hardware design covering both combinational and sequential logic circuits. Aspect-oriented is a new paradigm in software development. It can solve some problems such as crosscutting concerns where object oriented concept cannot. This paper proposes the idea that aspect-oriented concept can be implemented to the sequential logic circuit resulting in reducing time in hardware design process.
