Editorial Welcome to the first volume of Transactions on Aspect-Oriented Software Development. Aspect-oriented methods, tools and techniques are gaining in popularity due to their systematic support for modularizing broadly scoped properties, the so-called crosscutting concerns, in software systems. Such crosscutting concerns include security, distribution, persistence, mobility, real-time constraints and so on. As software systems become increasingly ubiquitous, mobile and distributed, the modular treatment of such crosscutting concerns also becomes critical to ensure that software artifacts pertaining to such concerns are reusable, evolvable and maintainable. This modular treatment of crosscutting concerns by aspect-o
