Extending UML with Aspects: Aspect Support in the Design Phase
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) has been considered a promising abstraction principle to reduce the problem of code tangling and make software structure clean and configurable. This paper addresses the aspect support in the design level while it has been focused mainly in the implementation/coding phase. We propose an extension to Unified Modeling Language (UML) to support aspects properly without breaking the existing UML specification. This allows developers to recognize and understand aspects in the design phase explicitly. Also, we propose a XMLbased aspect description language, UXF/a. It provides the interchangeability of aspect model information between development tools such as CASE tools and aspect weavers.

Aspect Oriented UML to ECORE Model Transformation
With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source...
متن کاملA Collaborative Support Approach on UML Sequence Diagrams for Aspect-Oriented Software
AOP and its broader application on software projects brings the importance to provide the separation between aspects and OO components at design time, to leverage the understanding of AO systems, promote aspects’ reuse and obtain the benefits of AO modularization. Since the UML is a standard for modeling OO systems, it can be applied to model the decoupling between aspects and OO components. Th...
متن کاملTowards Visual AspectJ by a Meta Model and Modeling Notation
A meta model specifies a particular visual modeling language. Aspect oriented modeling (AOM) needs meta models for aspect visual modeling to bridge the gap between the conceptual modeling of crosscut concerns and aspect oriented programming (AOP). Many researchers have proposed extensions of the UML towards graphical notations for aspects. However, notations without an underlying formal semanti...

متن کاملComprehensive Aspectual UML Approach to Support AspectJ
Unified Modeling Language is the most popular and widely used Object-Oriented modelling language in the IT industry. This study focuses on investigating the ability to expand UML to some extent to model crosscutting concerns (Aspects) to support AspectJ. Through a comprehensive literature review, we identify and extensively examine all the available Aspect-Oriented UML modelling approaches and ...
