Object Teams: Improving Modularity for Crosscutting Collaborations
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate whether module concepts for capturing multi-object collaborations can be effectively used to implement crosscutting concerns in reusable, independently developed modules for a-posteriori integration into existing systems. A new kind of collaboration module, called Object Teams, is proposed which combines the best features of existing approaches, further enhances them with concepts for expressing crosscutting relations between independent collaborations, and facilitates a-posteriori integration of such collaborations into existing systems.

Improving Software Modularity through Crosscutting Concern Extraction
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm for improving the modularity of software systems by localizing crosscutting concerns in the system into aspects. Aspect-oriented refactorings extend AOP to legacy systems, by identifying and encapsulating existing crosscutting concerns through aspect-mining (discovery of crosscutting concerns) and aspect refactoring (semantic-preservin...
متن کاملEvidence-Based Comparison of Modularity Support Between Java and Object Teams
Background: Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is an emerging programming paradigm whose focus is about improving modularity, with an emphasis on the modularization of crosscutting concerns. Objective: The goal of this paper is to assess the extent to which an AOP language – ObjectTeams/Java (OT/J) – improves the modularity of a software system. This improvement has been claimed but, to the best...
متن کاملA Multiparadigm Study of Crosscutting Modularity in Design Patterns
Design patterns provide solutions to recurring design problems in object-oriented programming. Design patterns typically crosscut class boundaries so previous work aimed at improving modularity of their implementations. A series of recent studies has focused on aspect-oriented programming while other crosscutting techniques such as collaborationbased designs have remained unexplored. In this pa...
متن کاملAn Early Approach to Identify and Classify Crosscutting Concerns in Aspect-Oriented Requirement Engineering (AORE) for Better Software Modularity
n this era of science and technology, where dependability on computer based systems is increasing, the size of software code is also increasing due to diverse nature of user requirements. Large software systems must have understandable code and impact of change should also be known otherwise it would be quite reasonable to say that software is very complex. The software complexity can be minimi...
متن کاملGeneric Roles for Increased Reuseability
Role-based programming, as in the Object Teams/Java (OT/J) language, aims to improve object-oriented programming with regard to separation of crosscutting or context-related concerns. Therefore, OT/J introduces class-like modules for roles and context, which connect common classes to build collaborations. However, since role and base objects are directly linked, it implies strong coupling and l...
