“…Fine tuned composition directives can be applied through the graph based pattern matching and categorization of model elements (e.g., the secCat categorization of connectors). Categorization can be defined based on context to avoid unnecessary actions, for example by differentiating what actions are necessary for different parts of the system for particular contexts Gray et al [14][15] use aspects in domain-specific models that specifically target embedded systems. Requirements, architecture and the environment of a system are captured in the form of formal high-level models that allow representation of concerns.…”

Abstract. Model-driven development approaches commonly use an abstraction of platform specific features for improving reusability and verifiability of the core functionality models. However, the core functionality may still be tangled with features that address important dependability concerns across a design model -for example features such as security, trust and performance. These features can commonly be called Quality of Service (QoS) features. This paper presents an approach for managing several dependability dimensions. We use aspect oriented and model driven development techniques to separate and construct QoS independent models, and graph-based transformation techniques to derive the corresponding QoS specific models.

“…Aspect-Oriented Domain Modeling (AODM) of Gray et al [40] is the most prominent AOM approach that explicitly focuses on the usage of DSMLs. AODM is an extension of Model-Integrated Computing [41] with a model weaver framework called the Constraint-Specification Aspect Weaver.…”

Summary. Separation of concerns and levels of abstraction are key software engineering principles that can help master the increasing complexity of software applications. Aspect-oriented modeling (AOM) and domain-specific modeling languages (DSML) are two important and promising approaches in this context. However, little research is done to investigate the synergy between AOM and DSMLs. In this paper we present an asymmetric approach to compose modularized concerns expressed in different DSMLs with an application base model expressed in a general-purpose modeling language (GPML). This allows to specify each concern in the most appropriate modeling language. We introduce the concept of a concern interface, expressed in a GPML, that serves as a common language between a specific concern and the application base. In addition, we use an explicit composition model to specify the syntactic and the semantic links between entities from the different concerns. We explore these concepts using an application where we modularize the user interface modeled in WebML and the access control specified in XACML. The modularized concerns are then composed with an application base that has been specified in UML.

“…Nevertheless, an important drawback of most of them, from the authors' point of view, is their lack of automatic tool support [14]. To the best of our knowledge, there are no tools, such as AJDT (AspectJ Development Tools) [6], that help aspect-oriented designers to reason about their aspect-oriented models by providing, for instance, crosscutting maps (as AJDT does).…”

Aspect-Oriented technologies, including Aspect-Oriented Modelling, provide a set of new constructs (e.g., advices or pointcuts), that help to improve the modularisation of crosscutting concerns. However, these new constructions can make it more difficult to understand how a system works as a whole, once all design modules are composed together, because: (1) designers may not be familiar with the new aspect-oriented constructions; and/or (2) aspect-orientation may cause new problems, such as the handling of aspect interactions. A straightforward and simple solution to check how a system works is to execute it. UML and its Action Semantics provide the foundations for modelling and executing object-oriented software systems. This paper presents a UML 2.0 Profile which extends the UML and its Action Semantics for the construction of aspect-oriented executable models and also a model weaver which makes the execution of such models possible. Our approach is illustrated using an Online Book Store system taken from the literature.
