Nowadays, the complexity of software applications has brought new challenges to developers, having to deal with a large number of computational requirements. Among these requirements, those known as crosscutting concerns transpass components boundaries, leading to maintainability and comprehension problems. This paper presents CrossMDA, a framework that encompasses a transformation process to i...

Enriching business process models with semantic tags taken from an ontology has become a crucial necessity in service provisioning, integration and composition. In this paper we propose to represent semantically labelled business processes as part of a knowledge base that formalises: business process structure, business domains, and a set of criteria describing correct semantic labelling. Our a...

Recent proposals have looked at the requirements stage, using the aspect oriented programming, trying to separate and after to compose the concerns that are spread and tangled in the requirement document. New factors appear in these requirements documents, such as, crosscutting concerns, size and coupling are not qualitative evaluated, because there are not these metrics. This paper shows a set...

Modeling four aspect-oriented programming mechanisms shows the way in which each supports modular crosscutting. Comparing the models produces a clear three part characterization of what is required to support crosscutting structure: a common frame of reference that two (or more) programs can use to connect with each other and each provide their semantic contribution.

Aspect-oriented requirements modelling separates the early crosscutting concerns as quality requirements such that one can reason about such requirements without cluttering with another. In this chapter, we propose a step further to reason about the dynamic goal models while the separated aspectual requirements are also dynamic. The key to this step is a list of change propagation rules for the...

We show that any simply connected rectifiable domain Ω can be decomposed into Lipschitz crescents using only crosscuts of the domain and using total length bounded by a multiple of the length of ∂Ω. In particular, this gives a new proof of a theorem of Peter Jones that such a domain can be decomposed into Lipschitz disks. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Design by Contract is commonly cited as an example of the “crosscutting” concerns that aspect-oriented programming can address. We test this conjecture by attempting to implement contracts through aspects and assessing the outcome. The results of this experiment cast doubt on the validity of the conjecture, showing that aspects appear unable to capture contracts in a way that retains the benefi...

Modern software systems are huge, complex, and greatly distributed. In order to design and model such systems, software architects are faced with the problem of cross-cutting concerns much earlier in the development process. At this level, cross-cutting concerns result in model elements that cross-cut the structural and behavioral views of the system. Research has shown that Aspect Oriented (AO...

This paper presents a high performance triaxial cutting force sensor with excellent accuracy, favorable natural frequency and acceptable cross-interference for high speed turning process. Octagonal ring is selected as sensitive element of the designed sensor, which is drawn inspiration from ring theory. A novel structure of two mutual-perpendicular octagonal rings is proposed and three Wheatsto...

Based on the dangers of suspended oil mist microparticles from machining to the environment and health of worker. A theoretical analysis on the generation mechanism of cutting fluid oil mist and an experimental study on its influencing factors were carried out in this paper. The experiment was conducted in closed lathe with flood cutting fluid feed system. A droplet diameter measuring system wa...
