Abstract
In Object Oriented (OO) systems super-imposition is a way to implement crosscutting concerns that introduce scattering and tangling of code components among the Types implemented along Type Hierarchies. This paper presents the results of the analysis of a set of existing Java systems to confirm and verify this assumption. The analysis was carried out exploiting a method to automatically analyse and identify the Type Fragments implementing static crosscutting concerns in OO systems.
