Abstract

We propose bottom-up support for modeling crosscutting structure in UML by adding a simple join point model to the meta-model. This supports built-in crosscutting modeling constructs such as sequence diagrams. It also facilitates adding new kinds of crosscutting modeling constructs such as role bindings, inter-type declarations, and advice. A simple weaver produces a uniform representation of the crosscutting structure, which can then be displayed or analyzed in a variety of ways.
