DETECTING ASPECTUAL BEHAVIOR IN UNIFIED MODELING LANGUAGE ARTIFACTS

摘要

Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, a data processing system and a computer program product for detecting aspectual behavior in unified modeling language artifacts. In one embodiment, the computer implemented method comprises representing static and dynamic characteristics of the artifacts in a set of production rules and creating a set of bit representations of method invocations found in the set of production rules. The method further comprises determining whether common sub-sequences exist in the set of bit representations and identifying a set of aspects within the production rules responsive to determining the common sub-sequences exist, and modifying the artifacts in accordance with the set of identified aspects.
