The component based approach and advanced separation of concerns are two important paradigms for software systems development. Although the two paradigms are complementary and looking for their synergy is a promising issue, only few research works are currently dedicated to their combination. This paper presents a comparative state of the art of the main research works that aim at the synergy of the two paradigms and proposes a new approach of combination that derives from the fact that all potential contributions that can be drawn, are tightly related with the well manipulation of aspects.
