Panel: The Future of Aspect Modeling: Will MDD absorb it?

Currently there are some young and promising approaches in software development, such as Model-Driven Development (MDD), and Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD). While MDD focuses on the systematic use of models, where the software is built through a chain of model transformations, AOSD aims to offer enhanced mechanisms to identify, model and compose crosscutting concerns. But what AOSD proposes doesn’t it involve just a specific kind of modelling? And regarding composition, isn’t it a special kind of model transformation? If these questions are true, will MDD absorb AOSD in the end? If not, what are then the true crosscutting relationships between MDD and AOSD?
