Extreme programming (XP) works well for small software projects in not-too-complex application domains. In many of these projects the rather simple requirements engineering of XP (customers write story cards) has proved suitable. But today we are more often faced with complex application domains in which the classical XP techniques will not suffice. The tutorial shows how to adapt extreme programming to complex application domains and to demanding development tasks. We focus mainly on the requirements engineering part and show how to enhance XP with interviews, scenarios and system visions. We also integrate the management perspective into the "planning game" reconciling this perspective to users' needs. We propose a set of best-practice methods we have used in a number of industrial high-risk projects for different complex application domains.

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is intended to ease situations that involve many kinds of code tangling. This paper reports on a study to investigate AOP's ability to ease tangling related to exception detection and handling. We took an existing framework written in Java™, the JWAM framework, and partially reengineered its exception detection and handling aspects using AspectJ™, an aspect-oriented programming extension to Java.
