Impact of aspect oriented programming on software modularity

Use of this web site signifies your agreement to the terms and conditions. A code smell is any symptom in the source code that possibly indicates a deeper modularity problem. Several works have been concerned about code smell occurrences in aspect-oriented systems. However, there is little knowledge about their actual damage to the modularity of architectural designs. The modularity and found that aspects violate the basic principles elaborated metamodel AoUML enriches UML with on which software engineering has depended for the last 50 constructs for visualizing aspects.

Beyond object-oriented software development P2 , the semantic gap between these development phases. It design patterns provides an overview of the background material necessary to understand the dissertation and evaluate its contributions.

Although design patterns are an established strategy, the It surveys SoC and modularization techniques from the days emergence of AO languages has given new insight into their of structured programming to post-OO paradigms of today's implementation. Using AOP in combination with generics academic research. Then, it outlines design pattern that can be introduced to existing code in a new programming constructs offered by AOP and CFs to non-intrusive way.

An adventage of having reusable avoid these limitations. Finally, the paper discusses the implementation is, that the programmer does not have to do lessons learned from developing software in the post-OO the implementation in each application he is building. It suggests areas of future work related to post- Moreover, the pattern can be plugged or unplugged OO paradigms.

Separation of crosscutting concerns at the design level: F. It presents a new AOP should be considered as a noninvasive technique to modelling language named AoUML that we have elaborated introduce new functionality without disturbing the existing to incorporate aspects into class diagram.

AoUML is an code. Although aspects can easily un plug the additional extension to the UML metamodel. Its specification is functionality, we suggest to use them only as a last resort, described by using a similar style to that of the UML because they violate fundamental software engineering metamodel.

First, an overview class diagram is introduced to principles and make the source code hard to understand. Then, the semantics and syntax are development concerns such as tracing, profiling and testing. The practical It is also an ideal prototyping tool for exploring new applicability of AoUML is demonstrated by modelling three requirements. GoF design patterns. The Decorator pattern revisited: an aspect-oriented The thesis is composed of scientific papers that arose solution P4 , BIR'08 during the research process.

Table 1 shows how the This paper examines whether the existing contributions of this dissertation are linked to the implementations of the Decorator pattern can be improved publications of this dissertation. Post object-oriented paradigms in software un plugged into code.

The This paper is a continuation of the previous one and limitations of OO languages are explained and illustrated by further explores the possibilities for improving 3 scenerio of adapting software to new requirements. Then, implementations of the GoF design patterns. It was found the paper presents the state-of-the-art in implementing cross- that not only Decorator, but also Proxy can take advantage cutting concerns.

In addition, reflective programming was explored and applied to the scenerios to avoid code employed for Prototype to provide a default implementation scattering and code tangling. Finally, the paper provides for cloning. In each case, the obtained implementation is guidelines outlining which paradigm is appropriate for which highly reusable.

What is wrong with AOP? In: Encyclopedia of Software Engineering, pp. We advocate for [4] Beltagui, F. We argue that the existing metrics are [6] Boudreau, M.

MIS Quart. We aslo describe some bugs in the tool that Modular Aspect-Oriented Reasoning. Technical Report , Iowa is widely used to evaluate AO software. We have fixed and State University, extended this tool to collect our metrics. Finally, we present [8] Davison, R. Information Systems Journal 14 1 , pp. We found that there is no pattern whose AO implementations exhibits lower coupling, [9] Dijkstra, E.

Netherlands, while 22 patterns present lower coupling in the OO [10] Figueiredo, et al. In: 30th Inter. In: between modules of the Observer pattern. In: Workshop on Multi- cohesion in both implementations. However, every new paradigm makes claims that managers want to hear. The aim of this PhD dissertation is to find out how much of what has been written about AOP is true and how much is hype.
