This paper presents a new method to identify classes during object-oriented software development. The approach uses process mapping and clustering technique for achieving unambiguous transition from requirements to the definition of object-oriented classes. We draw analogy between forming cells in cellular manufacturing and class formation in object-oriented software development and accordingly...

In many real world assembly line systems which the work-piece is of large size more than one worker work on the same work-piece in each station. This type of assembly line is called multi-manned assembly line (MAL). In the classical multi-manned assembly line balancing problem (MALBP) the objective is to minimize the manpower needed to manufacture one product unit. Apart from the manpower, othe...

We take this approach further by modeling crosscuts, aspect Aspect Oriented Programing is a promising paradigm that challenges traditional notions of program modularity. Despite its increasing acceptance, aspects have been documented to suffer limited reuse, unpredictable behavior, and difficult modular reasoning. We develop an algebraic model that treats aspects as program transformations and ...
