Aspect-Oriented Modeling: Bridging the Gap between Implementation and Design

Separation of Concerns is one of the software engineering design principles that is getting more attention from practitioners and researchers in order to promote design and code reuse. Separation of Concerns (SoC) separates requirements such as synchronization and scheduling from the core functionality. These requirements are often referred to as crosscutting-concerns. The implementation of such requirements is scattered throughout the system, which results in the code-tangling problem. Aspect Oriented Programming provides the user with the ability to modularize, and weave crosscutting-concerns in order to maximize code reusability and solves the code-tangling problem. Weaving is the process of combining crosscutting concerns with the core functionality. Using the UML to model and interweave these concerns is a craft that is hard to master due to the lack of formal modeling techniques based on SoC. In this paper we present a formal design methodology to model the systems concerns based on aspect-orientation.

Report of the 14th international workshop on aspect-oriented modeling

This report summarizes the outcome of the 14th Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM), as part of the 12th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems – MoDELS 2009 – in Denver, Colorado, USA, on the 4th of October 2009. The workshop brought together researchers and practitioners from two communities: aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) and software model engineering. This paper gives an overview of the accepted submissions, and summarizes the results of the discussion.

9th international workshop on aspect-oriented modeling

This report summarizes the outcomes of the 9th Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM) held in conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems - MoDELS 2006 - in Genoa, Italy, on the 1st of October 2006. The workshop brought together approximately 25 researchers and practitioners from two communities: aspect-oriented software development and software model engineering. It provided a forum for discussing the state of the art in modeling crosscutting concerns at different stages of the software development process: requirements elicitation and analysis, software architecture, detailed design, and mapping to aspect-oriented programming constructs. This paper gives an overview of the accepted submissions and summarizes the results of the different discussion groups. Papers and presentation slides of the workshop are available at http://www.aspect-modeling.org/.
