Abstract

Coordination has become a key concept in the industrial systems as it leads to a better understanding of the interactions that take place in complex and distributed systems. In the last few years, coordination has been introduced in two important fields of Software Engineering: Software Architectures, through the notion of connector, and Aspect-Oriented Software Development, through the notion of weaving and by considering coordination as an aspect. In this paper, we present how the Prisma model orchestrates its aspect-oriented architectural models by using aspect-oriented connectors. Due to the complexity of a coordination process, they must be well founded and defined. This paper presents the formalization of this combination of connectors and aspects to obtain more consistent, reusable and maintainable coordination models.
