Aspect-oriented challenges in system integration with microservices, SOA and IoT

The era of system integration through service-oriented architecture is rapidly becoming a legacy. New systems increasingly rely on the successor microservice architecture. However, distributed applications can also play a significant role in the internet-of-things. In this paper, we gather evidence demonstrating cross-cutting issues in these areas and highlight how aspect-oriented programming addresses them. Specifically, the purpose of this paper is to provide a roadmap for using aspect-oriented programming to deal effectively with crosscuts in application design, systems interaction, and integration.
