When aspect-oriented modeling techniques are used in the context of Model-Driven Engineering, a possible way of obtaining an executable from an aspect-oriented model is to map it to code written in an aspect-oriented programming language. This paper presents important challenges that a modeler has to face when mapping aspect-oriented models to an aspect-oriented programming language: mapping st...

This paper describes our system for generating Chinese aspect expressions. In the system, the semantics of different aspects is characterized by specific temporal and conceptual features. The semantic applicability conditions of each individual aspect are theoretically represented by an aspect selection function (ASF). The generation is realized by evaluating implemented inquiries which formall...

Previous research in child language acquisition identifies discrepancies between child and adult use of verbal inflectional morphology In this paper, we consider a case of partial undergeneralization where children's use of the-ed and-ing endings seems constrained by the aspectual class of the host verb. Children, more than adults, seem reluctant to generalize the imperfective morpheme to state...

Aspect mining tries to identify crosscutting concerns in legacy systems and thus supports the refactoring into an aspect-oriented design. This position paper describes DynAMiT, the first aspect mining tool that detects crosscutting concerns based on dynamic analysis. Furthermore, it presents the results of several case studies, and estimates the quality of the DynAMiT approach. Based on that, w...

Addressing the issue of crosscutting concerns within a software system, the notion of an aspect has been introduced, first for so-called AspectOriented Programming (AOP) and then, more generally, for Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD). Unfortunately, this notion is used with two different meanings: one as a synonym for “crosscutting concern”, and the other as a means to deal with a cro...

Aspect-based sentiment analysis estimates the sentiment expressed for each particular aspect (e.g., battery, screen) of an entity (e.g., smartphone). Different words or phrases, however, may be used to refer to the same aspect, and similar aspects may need to be aggregated at coarser or finer granularities to fit the available space or satisfy user preferences. We introduce the problem of aspec...

Non-functional concerns are present in all software solutions and products. While the functional requirements most often drive the development of models in Model Driven Development (MDD), the modeling of non-functional concerns, such as security, is equally important for a high quality solution. The security concerns within a solution are often crosscutting, non-orthogonal and of a diverse natu...

Domain specific aspect languages (DSALs) are becoming more popular because they can be designed to represent recurring concerns in a way that is optimized for a specific domain. However, the design and implementation of even a limited domain-specific aspect language can be a tedious job. To address this, we propose a framework that offers a fast way to prototype implementations of domain specif...
