Products go green: worst-case energy consumption in software product lines
Couto, Marco Domingos Mendes; Borba, Paulo; Cunha, Jácome Miguel Costa; Fernandes, João Paulo Soares; Pereira, Rui; Saraiva, JoãoThe optimization of software to be (more) energy efficient is becoming a major concern for the software industry. Although several techniques have been presented to measure energy consumption for software, none has addressed software product lines (SPLs). Thus, to measure energy consumption of a SPL, the products must be generated and measured individually, which is too costly.In this paper, we present a techni...
Specifying design rules in aspect-oriented systems
Dósea, Marcos; Costa Neto, Alberto; Borba, Paulo; Soares, SérgioModularization of crosscutting concerns is the main benefit provided by Aspect-Oriented constructs. However, current AO languages do not address class modularity adequately. In order to achieve both class and crosscutting modularity, Design Rules for AO Systems should be defined. In this work we propose a language to specify Design Rules that establish the minimum requirements to enable the parallel development...

From conditional compilation to aspects: a case study in software product lines...
Alves, Vander; Costa Neto, Alberto; Soares, Sérgio; Santos, Gustavo; Calheiros, Fernando; Nepomuceno, Vilmar; Pires, Davi; Leal, Jorge; Borba, PauloApart from adoption strategies, an existing Software Product Line (SPL) implemented using some variability mechanisms can be migrated to use another variability mechanism. In this paper, we present some migration strategies from one SPL implemented with conditional compilation to one using Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP). The strategies present a variability pattern handled by the first mechanism and shows ho...
Analyzing class and crosscutting modularity with design structure matrixes
Ribeiro, Márcio de Medeiros; Dósea, Marcos; Bonifácio, Rodrigo; Costa Neto, Alberto; Borba, Paulo; Soares, SérgioModularization of crosscutting concerns is the main benefit provided by Aspect-Oriented constructs. However, it does not address class modularity adequately. In order to assess both class and crosscutting modularity of AO systems, we use Design Structure Matrixes (DSMs) to analyze three different versions (OO, AO, and AO using design rules) of a real software application. We observed that, in the last version, ...
Mapping features to aspects: a model-based generative approach
Kulesza, Uirá; Alves, Vander; Garcia, Alessandro; Costa Neto, Alberto; Cirilo, Elder; Lucena, Carlos José Pereira de; Borba, PauloHandling the various derivations of an aspect-oriented software famility architecture can be a daunting and costly task if explicit support is not systematically provided throughout early and late development artifacts. Aspectoriented software development (AOSD) has been recently explored by several research works as a technique that enables software product line customization. However, the application of AOSD ...
Beyond code: handling variability in art artifacts in mobile game product lines
Alves, Vander; Santos, Gustavo; Calheiros, Fernando; Nepomuceno, Vilmar; Pires, Davi; Costa Neto, Alberto; Borba, PauloThis position paper addresses on going work in exploring variability mechanisms for relevant artifacts in the domain of Mobile Game Software Product Lines. In particular, we show such mechanisms for images and sound and reason on the choice of such mechanism based on factors such as binding-time, performance, and reusability. Future work consists of refining a reasoning framework to encompass additional factors...
Semantic dependencies and modularity of aspect-oriented software
Costa Neto, Alberto; Ribeiro, Márcio de Medeiros; Dósea, Marcos; Bonifácio, Rodrigo; Borba, PauloModularization of crosscutting concerns is the main benefit provided by Aspect-Oriented constructs. In order to rigorously assess the overall impact of this kind of modularization, we use Design Structure Matrixes (DSMs) to analyze different versions (OO and AO) of a system. This is supported by the concept of semantic dependencies between classes and aspects, leading to a more faithful notion of coupling for A...
Declaring static crosscutting dependencies in AspectJ
Costa Neto, Alberto; Alves, Vander; Borba, PauloAspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is considered a promising approach for Software Product Line (SPL) implementation. In this paper we present the problem of dependency in inter-type method declarations as well a proposal of two new constructs to AspectJ interfaces: introduces and declares. These constructs can be used to declare and check dependency between base code and aspects in such a way to support separat...
A verification approach for crosscutting features based on extension join points
Coelho, Roberta; Alves, Vander; Kulesza, Uirá; Costa Neto, Alberto; Garcia, Alessandro; Staa, Arndt von; Lucena, Carlos José Pereira de; Borba, PauloRecently, one arguing question in the context of product line development is how to improve the modularization and composition of crosscutting features. However, little attention has been paid to the closely related issue of testing the crosscutting features. This paper proposes a verification approach for the crosscutting features of a product line based on the use of a previously proposed concept called Exten...
