Abstract

The increasing complexity of software applications requires improved software development techniques in order to cope with, a.o., software reuse and evolution, the management of heterogeneous concerns, and the retargeting of systems towards new software platforms. The introduction of AOSD (aspect-oriented software development) and the support for MDD (model-driven development) are two important and promising evolutions that can contribute to better control of software complexity. In this paper we present an AOM (Aspect-Oriented Modeling) based framework to promote and enhance the reuse of concerns expressed in UML. We have developed a prototype composition engine implemented in ATL that can be used to compose concern models specified in UML.
