“…Several approaches relying on this technique have been published recently, e.g. [17][18][19]. All of the mentioned approaches differ from the approach presented in this paper inasmuch as they do not support incremental round-trip engineering between models and code.…”

Model-driven software engineering is supported with the help of model transformations. At present, the technology for defining and executing uni-directional batch transformations seems to be fairly well developed, while bidirectional and incremental transformations are more difficult to handle. In this study, the authors present a bidirectional and incremental transformation tool for round-trip engineering between class diagrams and Java source code. Unlike other approaches, the tool may work with arbitrary Java code rather than only with source code following specific coding conventions. For its realisation, they selected triple graph grammars (TGGs) because they allow to generate bidirectional incremental transformations from a single set of undirected rules. When applying TGGs, they observed several strengths and weaknesses which are also discussed in this study.

“…The idea behind KDM is to motivate the community to start creating parsers and tools that work over KDM instances; thus, every tool that takes KDM as input can be considered platform and languageindependent. For instance, a refactoring catalogue for KDM can be used for refactoring systems implemented in different languages [32]. One of the primary uses of KDM is during reverse engineering processes, in that a parser reads sourcecode of a system and generates a KDM instance representing it.…”

“…Whenever one decides to modernize legacy systems aiming to remodularize concerns, a candidate paradigm is Aspect-Orientation (AO), which provides abstractions to improve the modularization of crosscutting concerns [29]. Although ADM/KDM had been created to support modernization of legacy systems, the original version of the KDM does not contains metaclasses suitable for representing AOP concepts [32]; hampering modernization processes whose goal is to remodularize crosscutting concerns [3].…”

Architecture-Driven Modernization is the new generation of software reengineering. The main idea is to modernize legacy systems using a set of standard models. The first step is to obtain, by reverse engineering, an instance of an ISO metamodel called KDM that represents all details of the legacy system. Then, refactorings and optimizations can be applied over this model turning it into a target/modernized KDM. Afterwards the source code of the target system can be generated. In its original form, KDM does not provide aspectual concepts, preventing an aspect-oriented modernization to be properly conducted. In this paper we present KDM-AO, an aspect-oriented heavyweight extension for the KDM metamodel. The extension has been created based on a well known aspectoriented profile for AspectJ language. To evaluate our extension, we applied it in an aspect-oriented modernization whose goal was to remodularize the persistence concern of an application using a Persistence Crosscutting Framework. The case study showed that KDM-AO is able to represent high-level and low-level aspectoriented abstractions.
