Abstract
Done well, separation of concerns can provide many software engineering benefits, including reduced complexity, im-proved reusability, and simpler evolution. The choice of boundaries for separate concerns depends on both require-ments on the system and on the kind (s) of decompositionand composition a given formalism supports. The predominant methodologies and formalisms available, however, support only orthogonal separations of concerns, along sdngle dimen-sions of composition and decomposition. These characteris-tics lead to a number of well-known and difficult problems.
