Suggest an Aspect-Oriented Design Approach for UML Communication Diagram
This work addresses a domain-specific issue in software engineering for designers using UML, but it appears incremental as it applies existing aspect-oriented mechanisms to a known limitation.
The paper tackles the problem of UML communication diagrams lacking support for non-functional requirements like concurrency and fault tolerance by proposing an aspect-oriented design approach, which aims to improve software structures and implementations beyond strict object-orientation.
More and more works are done on the design of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) which is designed to help us for modeling effective object oriented software, Existing Object-Oriented design methods are not mature enough to capture non-functional requirement such as concurrency, fault tolerance, distribution and persistence of a software approach. Our approach proposed to use aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) mechanisms to solve the issues for interactions of the communication diagram in UML that support only the Object-Oriented mechanisms,thus AOSD allow to design programs that are out of reach of strict Object-Orientation and could possibly improve the structures and implementations.
