AC2-ADL: Architectural Description of Aspect-Oriented Systems

Abstract

The traditional Architectural Description Languages ADLs lack the ability to describe the crosscutting concerns and crosscutting interactions in the software architecture, which result in the design of the system difficulty in comprehension, evolution and reuse. This paper proposes a new Aspect-Oriented ADL-AC2-ADL to provide a formal basis for representation of the tangling and scattering concerns and establish the software architecture with higher dependability.
