Analysis of Aspect-Oriented Software
Abstract
Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) is a new approach for modularizing
complex software systems. As an extension to other software development paradigms,
such as object-oriented development, it allows to capture and modularize concerns
that crosscut a software systems in so-called aspects. Aspects are constructs that
can be identified and manipulated throughout the development process. Much work
has been done to develop aspect-oriented languages, support, and models for
aspect-oriented software development. With the growing acceptance of AOSD as a
software development technique, dedicated support for analysis of aspectual
artifacts is needed at the various stages of software development. Developers
need to be able to understand, visualize, specify, verify and test aspect-oriented
requirements, architectures, designs and programs to make it an industrially
viable technology. In this workshop, we will discuss where analysis of
aspect-oriented software is needed, what the challenges are and how these
challenges can be addressed. We are interested in discussing these questions in
the context of the whole software development life cycle.
Goal of this workshop is to create a fruitful discussion about the analysis
of aspect-oriented systems. By bringing together different research communities
that work in this field, we hope to achieve cross-fertilization and exchange
of ideas.
Main Topics
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
- Analysis of aspect-oriented artifacts (requirements, specifications, architectures, designs, programs)
- Static and dynamic analysis
- Identification and resolution of aspect interactions
- Specification of AO systems
- Verification of AO systems
- Visualization to enhance understanding of AO requirements, design, programs, etc.
- Testing approaches for AO systems
- Debugging techniques
- Run-time inspection of AO programs
- Tool support for above
For additional information, please refer to the workshop web site.
All accepted papers will be posted on the website before the workshop
to be available for workshop participants. The website includes a discussion
forum allowing submitters to begin to discuss the issues arising in advance
of the workshop. After the workshop, the website will be maintained
for as long as possible in order to allow discussions to continue.
