Uma linguagem para especificação de regras de design para programas orientados a aspectos.

Abstract

Despite Aspect Oriented Programming (AO) modularize program’s crosscutting concerns it can break class modularity in certain circumstances. In this case, classes must known what aspects interfere on its functionalities. It was observed that design rules can mitigate the coupling between aspects and classes. This paper proposes a language to specify design rules and declare the dependences between classes and aspects. We’ve developed a tool to automatically check if the design rules are been followed. Therefore, we validated our work specifying design rules to some design patterns implemented on AspectJ, as the Singleton and Template Method design patterns.
