Separation of Concerns separates requirements such as synchronization and scheduling from the core functionality of the software system. These requirements are often referred to as crosscutting concerns. The implementation of such requirements is scattered throughout the software system, which results in the code-tangling problem Aspect Oriented Programming provides the user with the ability to...

This article presents a method for automatic seam-tracking in friction stir welding (FSW) of lap joints. In this method, tracking is accomplished by weaving the FSW tool back-and-forth perpendicular to the direction of travel during welding and monitoring force and torque signals. Research demonstrates the ability of this method to automatically track weld seam positions. Additionally, tensile ...

The notion of aspect looks promising for handling crosscutting concerns earlier in the software life-cycle, up from programming to design, analysis and even requirements. This paper proposes a technique to encapsulate and weave behaviors described as sequence diagrams in base models which contain a finite set of sequence diagrams. The weaving process is twophased. Firstly the detection phase se...

1. Abstract Project No. G94-2 titled “Real-time Fabric Defect Detection & Control In Weaving Processes’’ was initiated on March 1, 1994. This brief progress report covers the period from March 1, 1994 to August 15, 1994 and details the major accomplishments during this reporting period. This collaborative research between Georgia Tech and N.C. State addresses the monitoring requirements for per...

In this paper the authors propose security requirements elicitation method by scenario weaving. When the stakeholders write the behaviors of a system in scenarios or use cases, they may not have concern on software security. We prepare scenario fragments based on security evaluation criteria and weave them into the scenarios. Then we elicit the advices of weaving. The advices express the condit...

The .NET Framework allows developers to add run-time services to their classes by specifying them in metadata. This metadata-driven service selection is a very powerful and promising mechanism, closely related to ideas developed in the Aspect-Oriented Programming community. Interestingly, the .NET framework supports both services implemented by weaving and services implemented by interception. ...
