6th International Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Modeling

held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD'05) in Chicago, Illinois, USA, March 14-18, 2005

The Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM) Workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from two communities, aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) and software model engineering. This workshop provides a forum for presenting new ideas and discussing the state of research and practice in modeling various kinds of crosscutting concerns at different levels of abstraction. AOM encompasses activities involved in software architecture, detailed design, testing, and mapping the models onto aspect-oriented programs. The goals of the workshop are to identify and discuss the impacts of aspect-oriented technologies on model engineering, especially UML, in order to provide aspect-oriented software developers with general modeling means to express aspects and their crosscutting relationships onto other software artifacts.

We are interested in submissions on all topics related to aspects and model engineering including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Aspect-Oriented Modeling
  • Defining requirements on Aspect-Oriented Modeling
    • essential characteristics of a crosscutting concern that need to be modeled
    • investigation into the concept of model weaving
    • notation and support to represent concepts of dynamic weaving in models
  • Verification and validation of aspect-oriented models
  • Composition of aspect-oriented models
  • Modeling of aspects at different stages of software development (requirements engineering, software architecture, design, implementation), e.g., what are the main elements at each individual stage and what are the aspects that crosscut?
  • Application of AOM to modeling notations that are not tied to the UML (e.g., domain-specific modeling languages, or Matlab models, etc.)

• Aspect-Oriented UML
  • Identification of UML elements that can be used to model aspects
  • Identification of UML elements that can NOT be used to model aspects
  • UML profiles for AOSD
  • Aspect-oriented support in UML 2.0
  • Extensions to UML for supporting AOSD

• AOSD Method and Tool Support
  • Aspect-oriented software development methods
  • Using existing UML tools in AOSD life-cycles
  • New tools and extensions to existing tools to support aspect-oriented modeling

• Aspect-Oriented Modeling Case Studies
  • Detailed examples that demonstrate how a certain concern can be modeled during software development throughout the different development stages

Submission of Position Papers

Prospective participants are invited to submit 4-6 page position papers. We encourage use of the ACM Conference Format for submissions. Members of the workshop committees will review all submissions and the authors of the papers will be notified. Submitted papers must be in PDF or Postscript format and should be submitted to: aomwsocuni-essen.de

Submitters are strongly encouraged to have a look at the "Previous Editions" page in order to learn about the outcomes of the previous editions of this workshop.
