This page has links to interesting references on AOSD. Specifically:
The Aspect-Oriented Software Association home page. If you go to the Xerox PARC pages, they send you here.
Communications of the ACM, Oct. 2001 has many articles on AOSD and is a good place to start.
Aspect Programming, is a consulting company that seems to specialize in applying aspects to the analysis and design disciplines (based upon the couple of papers that are posted there).
Aspect-Oriented Programming, Gregor Kiczales, et. al., ECOOP 1997. This is one of the original papers from the group at Xeroc Parc.

AspectJ, is the most widely-used Java implementation of an AOP language extension. It is hosted on the Eclipse site.
Hyper/J is the IBM implementation of a tool for addressing multi-dimensional separation of concerns.
Tools for Hyper/J Composition. I found this page but have not done anything with the tools since I'm still learning about Hyper/J and the differences between multi-dimensional separation of concerns and the model promoted by AOP.
Declarative Aspect-oriented Programming, Ralf Lämmel. Seems to add some formalisms to the literature. Worth a look.
