[aosd-discuss] Inheritance hierarchies

[Ashley at Metamaxim]

Hi

Our research on behavioural aspects suggests that a mixin paradigm is better suited to aspect based modelling than an inheritance hierarchy (see www.metamaxim.com/download/documents/AOSD.pdf ).

I think that the fundamental issue is that aspects are compositional. The inheritance paradigm suits refinement and the mixin paradigm suits composition.

Best regards
Ashley

  Hi

  I think system aspects can adversley impact software design by creating unique inheritance hierarchies from original crosscuts.  This effect could originate from system-level crosscut influences and contaminate the lower-level software design.

  Q. Under these circumstances, how does EA analysis cater for system level aspects? 



  Regards
