Abstract: The key difference between AOSD (Aspect-Oriented Software Development) and OOSD (Object-Oriented Software Development) is the management of crosscutting concerns.The management of crosscutting concerns should run through the whole process in AOSD.Firstly,the definition and manifestations of crosscutting concerns at different stages of software development were summarized.Then,the most recent research advances of several key issues such as identification of crosscutting concerns in the requirements phase,behavioral constraints,and evolutionary mechanisms in the management of crosscutting concerns were surveyed.Finally,the future research directions were outlined,and the possible solutions to those key issues were proposed.

Key words: Aspect-oriented software development,Identification of crosscutting concerns,Behavioral constraints,Evolution,Goal model
