I became interested in the concept of aspect oriented software engineering in the late 1990s when developing component-based software systems and architectures. I needed a way to express cross-cutting concerns at requirements and design levels. This lead to the development of "aspect-oriented requirements engineering", specifically applied to component engineering. I further extended this work to use cross cutting aspects at the design, implementation, run-time discovery and adaptation and run-time testing areas. We developed a methodology around this, AOSE. I should really have written it up into a book, but never seemed to find the time...
