Abstract:	Applying the object-oriented paradigm for the development of large and complex software systems offers several advantages, of which increased extensibility and reusability are the most prominent ones. The object-oriented model is also quite suitable for modeling concurrent systems. However, it appears that extensibility and reusability of concurrent applications is far from trivial. The problems that arise, the so-called inheritance anomalies or crosscutting aspects have been extensively studied in the literature. As a solution to the synchronization reuse problems, we present the composition-filters approach. Composition filters can express synchronization constraints and operations on objects as modular extensions. In this paper we briefly explain the composition filters approach, demonstrate its expressive power through a number of examples and show that composition filters do not suffer from the inheritance anomalies.
