Crosscutting concerns refactoring in agent framework

Agent framework such as Aglets has crosscutting concern (CCC) that is legacy from object oriented (OO) programming. Refactoring is needed to make a clean agent framework from the problems. Aspect mining and aspect identification is an important process that has to be conducted in refactoring process. Aspect implementation can be conducted after aspect mining have been succeeded to identify CCC. This paper presents an experience to analyze and identify CCC in agent framework. Two techniques tried to be combined to conduct aspect mining. Those techniques are Search-Based technique and DIFF Algorithm. Aglets framework become a case study to perform the aspect mining. Step by step of the technique will be explained to get aspect mining is more clear.
