Using a Concept-based Approach to Aspect-Oriented Software Design

Dennis Wagelaar, Lodewijk Bergmans

Open full text 14 citations

Abstract

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has received considerable interest, in particular as an extension of object-oriented programming. However, current object-oriented software design techniques, such as UML, are not well suited to cope with aspect orientation. In this paper we discuss a design approach, called CoCompose, which supports aspect orientation and software evolution. The CoCompose design language adopts a generic concept construct for describing software systems. Design-level relationships between concepts can be expressed by applying the parameterised feature construct. Complete CoCompose models can be translated into executable programs using an automatic translation process.
