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...
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, ...
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...
