AAn aspect-oriented approach can be beneficial at different stages of the software life cycle and at various levels of abstraction. Whenever the description of a software artifact exhibits crosscutting structure, the principles of modularity espoused by AOP offer a powerful technology for supporting separation of concerns. We have found this to be true especially in the area of domainspecific modeling [3].In domain-specific modeling, a design engineer describes a system by constructing a model using the terminology and concepts from a specific domain. Analysis can then be performed on the model, or the model can be synthesized into an implementation. At the Institute for

Digital transformation" is currently an important trend that penetrates many industrial and societal domains. The phrase is also emerging as a buzzword that allows different stakeholders to inject various forms of innovation into their respective company, business, government, academic institution, or other public services. The nuances of digital transformation are broad and have not yet been defined precisely, but even job advertisements often contain the phrase. Deconstructing the term from its two primary words, we identify two well-known concepts. "Transformation" describes a general process that starts with some initial situation that moves toward a changed, and supposedly better situation. May be that in this case the word transformation is not the best word choice because the underlying transformation may never meet a stable end, but rather undergo a continual set of evolutionary optimizations related to new forms of business, production, logistics, medicine or other changes within the targeted domain. "Digital" suggests that many changes in society, business and industry will be driven by information technologies that allow data to be processed in real-time and even used to intelligently derive information to finally to provide stakeholders with improved knowledge about their processes and products. Downstream digitization would also allow optimization, automation activities and production techniques of various forms.
