On the Notion of Functional Aspects in Aspect-Oriented Refactoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we examine the notion of functional aspects in context of aspect-oriented refactoring. Treating aspects as functions reduces the potential interactions between aspects significantly. We propose a simple mathematical model that incorporates fundamental properties of aspects and their interactions. Using this model, we show that with regard to refactoring functional aspects are as flexible as traditional aspects, but with reduced program complexity.

Classification of Scattered Code in Object-Oriented Applications
Aspect-oriented programming strives to encapsulate crosscutting concerns into modular units called aspects. Aspect Mining techniques aim to search for aspect candidates in existing software systems. These techniques associate all occurrences of scattered code in existing applications with the absence of aspects. In this paper, we demonstrate that in a poorly designed object-oriented system, sca...
متن کاملRefactoring JHOTDRAW’s Undo concern to ASPECTJ
In this paper we discuss an approach to the aspect-oriented refactoring of the Undo concern in an open-source Java system. A number of challenges and considerations of the proposed solution are analyzed for providing useful feedback about how the employed aspect language could better support the refactoring to aspects. We also consider the unpluggability property of a concern as an estimate of ...
متن کاملAn illustrative example of refactoring object-oriented source code with aspect-oriented mechanisms
This paper describes a refactoring process that transforms a Java source code base into a functionally equivalent AspectJ source code base. The process illustrates the use of a collection of refactorings for aspect-oriented source code, covering the extraction of scattered implementation elements to aspects, the internal reorganization of the extracted aspects and the extraction of commonalitie...
متن کاملRefactoring-Safe Modeling of Aspect-Oriented Scenarios
Aspects use pointcut expressions to specify patterns that are matched against a base model, hence defining the base locations to which aspects are applied. The fragile pointcut problem is well-known in aspect-oriented modeling, as small changes in the base may lead to non-matching patterns. Consequently, aspects are not applied as desired. This is especially problematic for refactoring. Even th...
متن کاملSome Thoughts On Refactoring Objects to Aspects
The prospect of aspect-orientation receiving widespread acceptance and adoption in the near future begs the question of how to deal with a large base of object-oriented legacy code. We propose to investigate refactoring techniques for restructuring object-oriented source code so that it can leverage the mechanisms of aspect-orientation in order to become easier to adapt, extend and evolve. Our ...
