An Analysis of Design Approaches for Crosscutting Concerns
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of approaches have been proposed to provide support for crosscutting concerns at the design level. This paper compares some of these design approaches. A set of “good design” criteria is used to identify strengths and weaknesses of the individual approaches. The paper concludes with a proposition to unify the strengths of the discussed approaches into a more effective model.

Aspect Oriented Requirements Engineering
Requirements engineering techniques that explicitly recognize the importance of clearly identifying and treating crosscutting concerns are called Aspect-oriented Requirements Engineering Approaches (AORE approaches). The emergence of aspect-oriented programming languages has raised the explicit need to identify crosscutting concerns already during the analysis phase. Besides this observation, t...
متن کاملModular Reasoning for Crosscutting Concerns with Contracts
Separation of concerns into modules is an active research area since four decades. Modularization is beneficial for complex software systems, as it enables a divide-and-conquer strategy to software development and maintenance. A key ingredient for modularization is that modules can be studied to a certain extent in isolation, which is important for program comprehension as well as for verificat...
متن کاملObject Identification and Aspect Mining in Procedural Object-Oriented Code
In this dissertation, we present Procedural Object-Oriented Code (POC). POC is the aftermath of the software development activity that involves state of the art object-oriented languages, without employing object-oriented analysis and design. Huge classes, absence of abstractions for domain entities, and shallow inheritance hierarchies are hallmark design defects of procedural object-oriented c...
متن کاملEmploying Query Technologies for Crosscutting Concern Comprehension
Common techniques for improving comprehensibility of software systems include concerns modularization and code structuring by applying well-established design patterns. However, non-trivial software systems will unavoidably exhibit concerns whose implementation cannot be mapped onto a single programming module, but will cut across the system’s structure. These crosscutting concerns lead to impl...
متن کاملAn Aspectual Use-Case Driven Approach
Existing approaches to software development do not handle properly the crosscutting nature of some requirements, be functional or non-functional. Aspect-oriented approaches aim at handling effectively separation of crosscutting requirements. We have been investigating how to achieve separation of concerns, not only through functional and non-functional requirements, but also by providing mechan...
