Aspect-Oriented Use Cases and Crosscutting Interfaces for Reconfigurable Behavior Modeling

摘要

Aspect-oriented development has become one of the most intensively investigated themes in software development. In this paper, the method is proposed for reconfigurable modeling of aspect-oriented information system when 《Core》 and 《Aspect》 concerns may be represented separately and combined in different ways without changing their models or implementation. 《Aspect》concerns are consistently represented during development process starting from 《Aspect》 use cases till crosscutting interfaces and templates for tailoring aspects for specific contexts. Examples from IT-Europe project are given where aspect-oriented concepts were used for modeling behavior of software agents performing self-management functionality of IT Knowledge Portal.
