There are various studies about AOP(Aspect-Oriented Programming) which modularizes cross-cutting concerns like logging and security effectively. But, we need to utilize techniques which specify the information of aspects modularizing cross-cutting concerns and detailed join information between aspects and targets. We propose a specification technique for aspects which focuses on clarifying the join information between aspects and targets. The technique includes the activities of specifying aspects, defining priority, specifying join information, and specifying pointcuts. We describe the join matrix which represents relationships of aspects and targets and the pointcut specification which is made by analyzing the commonality of join points. The proposed specification technique supports detailed information of the aspects and the join information between aspects and targets so that we can use detailed information to implement aspects.
