Abstract

We present an approach to aspect specification based on the Protocol Modelling paradigm, which uses CSP parallel composition as the mechanism for combining partial behaviour specifications. Using the Protocol Modelling approach enables local reasoning about the behaviour of the whole model based on knowledge of behaviour of the composed aspects, and we present the proof of this key property in this paper. We describe how Protocol Modelling allows the definition of aspect join points and weaving relationships at the model level, and how different aspects may use different abstractions over the same domain. We illustrate this using a small case example.
