BARBOSA, Fernando Sérgio; AGUIAR, Ademar (2013) - Using roles to model crosscutting concerns. In Aspect Oriented Software Development, Fukuoka, 24-29 março. [S.l : sl.]. p. 1-12
In object oriented languages the problem of crosscutting concerns, due to limitations in the composition mechanisms, is recurrent. In order to reduce this problem we propose to use roles as a way of composing classes that extends the Object Oriented approach and can be used to model crosscutting concerns. To support our approach we developed a role language that extends Java, while being compatible with existing virtual machines. As validation we conducted a case study using three open source systems. We identified crosscutting concerns in the systems and then modeled them using our role approach. Results show that roles are a viable option for modeling crosscutting concerns.
