An aspect oriented component based model driven development

Abstract

This paper focuses on incorporating the concepts of aspects and software reuse in model driven architecture work for developing the highly reliable, adaptable software products in a timely fashion. This is achieved by partitioning the whole system into different independent components and aspects so as to facilitate component reuse along with the ease of modeling the components separately and emphasizing on the concerns that the widely used OOP paradigm has failed to address. Also it is supported to lay more emphasis on designing the software as compared to the traditional way of laying more emphasis on the coding than on modeling. Identification of reusable components is carried out using the hybrid methodology and aspects are identified by the domain experts. Along with the components, the PIM and aspects developed are stored in separate repositories so as to be used in development of other software of similar requirements and basic structure. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
