Change Impact Analysis of Crosscutting in Software Architectural Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Software architectures should be amenable to changes in user requirements and implementation technology. The analysis of the impact of these changes can be based on traceability of architectural design elements. Design elements have dependencies with other software artifacts but also evolve in time. Crosscutting dependencies may have a strong influence on modifiability of software architectures. We present an impact analysis of crosscutting dependencies in architectural design. The analysis is supported by a matrix representation of dependencies.

Analysis of Crosscutting in Model Transformations
This paper describes an approach for the analysis of crosscutting in model transformations in the Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Software architectures should be amenable to changes in user requirements and technological platforms. Impact analysis of changes can be based on traceability of architectural design elements. Design elements have dependencies with other software artifacts but also ...
متن کاملMastering crosscutting architectural decisions with aspects
When reflecting upon driving system requirements such as security and availability, software architects often face decisions that have a broadly scoped impact on the software architecture. These decisions are the core of the architecting process because they typically have implications intertwined in a multitude of architectural elements and across multiple views. Without a modular representati...
متن کاملOn the modularity assessment of aspect-oriented multiagent architectures: a quantitative study
A number of concerns in Multiagent Systems (MAS) have a broadly-scoped impact on the system architectural decomposition, which in turn hinder the design of modular MAS architectures. Typical examples of crosscutting concerns in MAS architectures include learning, mobility, coordination, and autonomy. Nowadays there are some architectural proposals that envisage an emerging aspect-oriented archi...
متن کاملOn the Quantitative Assessment of Modular Multi-Agent System Architectures
A number of concerns in multi-agent systems (MAS) have a broadly-scoped impact on the system architectural decomposition, which in turn hinder the design of modular MAS architectures. These concerns inherently crosscut the boundaries of several architecture elements, such as components, connectors, and their interfaces. Typical examples of crosscutting concerns in MAS architecture include learn...
متن کاملStability assessment of aspect-oriented software architectures: A quantitative study
Design of stable software architectures has increasingly been a deep challenge to software developers due to the high volatility of their concerns and respective design decisions. Architecture stability is the ability of the high-level design units to sustain their modularity properties and not succumb to modifications. Architectural aspects are new modularity units aimed at improving design st...
