Workshop on
Aspect-Oriented Modeling with UML

at
UML 2003: The Sixth International Conference on
the Unified Modeling Language (UML)

October 20-24, 2003
San Francisco, California


http://www.cs.iit.edu/~oaldawud/AOM/index.htm


Workshop Mission
----------------

The goal of this workshop is to bring together the communities of
aspect-oriented software development and UML to discuss the state of
research and practice when handling various kinds of crosscutting
concerns at both software architecture and detailed design levels, and
their mappings to aspect-oriented programs. Another key point will be to
address the impact of aspect-oriented technologies on UML and to prepare
together an agenda for future research in aspect-oriented modeling of
software systems.

Selected papers will be published as part of the workshop proceedings in
ENTCS.

Topics
------

We are interested in submissions on all topics relating Aspect-Oriented
Software Development and UML, including, but not limited to:

- Defining requirements on Aspect-Oriented modeling
- Characteristics of a crosscutting concern that need to be modeled in
an aspect
- Modeling intra-object and inter-object crosscutting concerns
- Verification and validation of aspect-oriented models
- Composition of aspect-oriented models
- Making UML Support Aspect-Oriented Modeling
- Extending or "tailoring" UML to fit the needs of AOSD systems
- Is a UML profile the best way to encapsulate extensions to the UML
for AOSD?
- UML templates for AOSD
- Identification of UML elements that can be used to model aspects
- Architectural descriptions using UML and AOSD
- Aspect-oriented behavioral modeling with UML
- Method and Tool Support
- Using existing UML tools in AOSD life-cycles
- Methodological issues related to the application of the UML in AOSD
- Tool support for modeling AOSD artifacts with the UML
- Aspects in Software Architecture
- Limitations of existing ADLs regarding the modeling of crosscutting
concerns
- Representation of crosscutting architectural concerns using aspects
- Use of aspects to capture crosscutting concerns in design and
architectural patterns
- Composition of architectural aspects
- How can we relate the UML, AOSD, and the IEEE recommended practice on
architectural modeling (which promotes a multi-dimensional view of a
system under construction)?
- Identifying and Modeling Aspects in Distributed Computing
Environments
- Aspects in Middleware
- Communication aspects (e.g., protocols, etc.)
- Security aspects (e.g., authentication, authorization, etc.)
- Fault tolerance aspects (e.g., transactions, replications)
- Aspects in Telecommunication management systems (e.g. connection
management, billing, accounting aspects, etc)


SUBMISSION OF POSITION PAPERS -----------------------------

Prospective participants are invited to submit 6-10 page position
papers. We encourage use of the ACM Conference format for submissions.
Members of the workshop committees will review all submissions and the
