AOSD Ontology 1.0 - Public Ontology of Aspect-Orientation

Abstract

This report presents a Common Foundation for Aspect-Oriented Software Development. A Common Foundation is required to enable effective communication and to enable integra- tion of activities within the Network of Excellence. This Common Foundation is realized by developing an ontology, i.e. the shared meaning of terms and concepts in the domain of AOSD. In the first part of this report, we describe the definitions of an initial set of com- mon AOSD terms. There is general agreement on these definitions. In the second part, we describe the Common Foundation task in detail.
