Abstract:
Powerful CASE tools for Aspect Oriented System (AOS) are useful to improve the developer productivity and ensure syntactical correctness of the AOS model for effective system design. This paper has proposed a systematic approach to develop CASE tool for graph semantic based AOS model called, GAM, using meta-configurable environment called, Generic Modeling Environment (GME). Graph â€“ semantic based Aspect Model (GAM) is a formal aspect oriented model to conceptualize the different facets of cross cutting concerns in AOS systems like join points, advices, PointCut etc. using graph based semantics. The proposed approach in this paper is comprised of set of semantic transformation rules for systematic mapping of concepts, semantics and notation syntax of GAM into the GME modeling paradigm elements. The approach is also supported with the correctness checking of such mapping using structural correspondence method. Moreover the expressiveness of the GME based CASE tool implementation of GAM has been illustrated using case study.
