Requirements such as distribution or tracing have an impact on multiple classes in a system. They are cross-cutting requirements, or aspects. Their support is, by necessity, scatt...
ABSTRACT. Design patterns are well-known couples of problems-solutions for software engineering. By nature, they often lack support from languages and this further complicates the ...
The idea behind Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM) is to apply aspect-oriented techniques to (software) models with the aim of modularizing crosscutting concerns. This can be done with...
The evolution of complex software systems is promoted by software engineering principles and techniques like separation of concerns, encapsulation, stepwise refinement, and reusab...
Component-based software development has proven effective for systems implementation in well-understood application domains, but is still insufficient for the creation of reusable...
