Model-based Aspect Weaver Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an approach that combines model engineering with program transformation techniques to construct aspect weavers for general-purpose programming languages. The front-end of the weaver uses a high-level language (i.e., an aspect language) to specify aspects and is designed with a metamodel-based approach using the AMMA toolsuite. The back-end of the weaver uses transformation rules, which are generated from these high-level aspect specifications, to perform the actual low-level weaving. Both the aspect specification (front-end) and transformation rules (back-end) are captured as models within the AMMA platform. The translation from source aspect model to target transformation model is achieved using ATL, which is a model transformation language.

Aop with Design Patterns as Meta-programming Operators
AOP (aspect-oriented programming) is an important new software construction methodology because it allows to specify parts and behaviors of components in a view-based way, i.e. with aspects. While these aspects can be speciied independently from each other, a weaver tool combines them to the nal form of the component. This yields software that is better readable (since speciications are modular...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Framework for Aspect Weaver Construction
Aspect orientation has been used to improve the modularization of crosscutting concerns that emerge at different levels of software abstraction. Although initial research was focused on imparting aspect-oriented (AO) capabilities to programming languages, the paradigm was later on extended to software artifacts that appear at higher levels of abstraction (e.g., models). In particular, the Model...
متن کاملMiddleware Model for Adapting Dynamic Requirements
Making a distributed system adaptable to the dynamic variations in the user requirements is a big challenge in software industries. It is identified that the solution for the adaptability of such dynamic variations can be achieved through reflective middleware. In this paper an efficient solution is proposed by combining aspect oriented approach with reflective middleware. The significant featu...
متن کاملAspect Weaving with Graph Rewriting
This paper introduces GRS-based AOP which explains a large subclass of AOP weavers as graph rewrite systems (GRS). The corresponding class of AOP problems has a formal background since it inherits all features of graph rewrite systems such as criteria for termination , connuence, and unique normal forms. In particular, it it shown that diierent kinds of rewrite rules form diierent weaver classe...
متن کاملArchitecture of an XML-based Aspect Weaver
This paper proposes an architecture to enable the development of an XML-based aspect weaver, providing ways to manipulate programs using and XML representation of source code information. The main advantages on using this approach when implementing an aspect weaver is that there are several tools to support XML documents manipulation and the use of XML provides a standard way to represent and m...
