On Getting Use Cases and Aspects to Work Together

Aspect orientation (AO) as an underlying logical model deduced from Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) [Kiczales97] is attracting attention and gaining in popularity. A number of authors have recently written about how ideas of aspect orientation might be used in connection or in conjunction with existing modeling techniques or technologies in order to enhance the capabilities of the latter. For...

Getting It Together: Enabling Multi-organization Provenance Exchange

We present an architecture that supports provenance queries in large, dynamic, multi-organizational environments. The Provenance Challenges have explored exchange across disparate provenance systems, yet this is only a first step. We describe requirements for multi-organizational provenance, evaluate candidate architectures, describe the approach implemented in the PLUS prototype provenance man...

Understanding the Challenges in Getting Together: The Semantics of Decoupling in Middleware

It is well accepted that different types of distributed architectures require different levels of coupling. For example, in client-server and three-tier architectures, application components are generally tightly coupled, both to one-another and with the underlying middleware. Meanwhile, in off-line transaction processing, grid computing and mobile application architectures, the degree of coupl...
