It emerged as an appropriate paradigm to improve the modularization of crosscutting concerns at the software modeling phase. On the other hand, with the rise of Model-Driven Development, Executable UML (xUML) plays a central role since it allows modelers to specify detailed specifications that can be automatically transformed into code. In this paper, we provide a formal semantics for aspect matching and weaving on xUML models, particularly activity diagrams. The semantics is based on Continuation-Passing Style since it provides a concise and elegant description of aspect-oriented mechanisms. We first consider basic pointcuts. Then, we provide a semantics for the dataflow pointcut, which is useful from a security perspective.","PeriodicalId":346899,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131182251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Power","doi":"10.1109/TASE.2013.31","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/TASE.2013.31","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper we present an approach to generating instances of metamodels using a Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solver as a back-end engine. Our goal is to automatically translate a metamodel and its invariants into SMT formulas which can be investigated for satisfiability by an external SMT solver, with each satisfying assignment for SMT formulas interpreted as an instance of the original metamodel. Our automated translation works by interpreting a metamodel as a bounded Attributed Type Graph with Inheritance (ATGI) and then deriving a finite universe of all bounded attribute graphs typed over this bounded ATGI. The graph acts as an intermediate representation which we then translate into SMT formulas. The full translation process, from metamodels to SMT formulas, and then from SMT instances back to metamodel instances, has been successfully automated in our tool, with the results showing the feasibility of this approach.","PeriodicalId":346899,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133243932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
