Abstract

This paper discusses an approach to evaluating the separation of concerns for an object-oriented software system. For assessing this separation, the developer is asked to specify the nature of classes through annotations. Automatic identification of some structural characteristics (e.g., inheritance, libraries, synchronisation) is used to appraise the composition and intertwining of concerns inside a class.

Automatically discovering design patterns and assessing concern separations for applications
SAC '06: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM symposium on Applied computing

In this paper we present a tool that assists in the automated analysis of a Java application, aimed at two purposes: (i) identifying class structure and, within this, micro-architectures that conform to known design patterns; (ii) providing visual ...
An integrated crosscutting concern migration strategy and its semi-automated application to JHotDraw

In this paper we propose a systematic strategy for migrating crosscutting concerns in existing object-oriented systems to aspect-oriented programming solutions. The proposed strategy consists of four steps: mining, exploration, documentation and ...
Concern-oriented incremental modelling
CASCON '17: Proceedings of the 27th Annual International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering

This paper investigates how to incrementally model a software system in the context of Concern-Oriented Reuse (CORE). CORE proposes concerns as new units of reuse encapsulating software artifacts that span multiple development phases and levels of ...
