Generative aspect-oriented component adaptation

Abstract As a solution to eliminating component mismatches, this paper presents a generative aspect oriented approach to component adaptation. The approach enjoys high level of automation and capability of deep level adaptation, which is achieved in an aspect-oriented component adaptation framework by generating and then applying the adaptation aspects under designed weaving process. The aspect generation mechanism facilitates the creation of adaptation aspects that support specific adaptation requirements. An expandable repository of reusable adaptation aspects has been developed based on the proposed twodimensional aspect model. A prototype tool is built to as a leverage of the approach.
