“…Shonle et al [31] have developed XAspects, an extensible system that allows to define aspectual domain-specific languages. An aspectual DSL allows to express specific crosscutting concerns into modularized constructs [8] [31]: (i) a coordination language used to specify thread coordination concerns; and (ii) a traversal language used to express collaborative behavior between classesXAspects also provides support to generate Java and AspectJ code derived from one or more aspectual DSLs. In our work we have studied the domain of software agents to define a unique DSL that express orthogonal and crosscutting agent features.…”

Over the last years, two new software engineering approaches have been proposed: generative programming and aspect-oriented software development. Generative programming addresses the study and definition of methods and tools that enable the automatic production of system families from a high-level specification. Aspect-oriented software development has been proposed as a technique for improving separation of concerns in the construction of OO software and supporting improved reusability and ease of evolution. The use of aspect-oriented techniques in a definition of a generative approach can bring benefits to the modeling and generation of crosscutting features since early development stages. This paper presents our experience in the definition of an aspect-oriented generative approach. The proposed approach explores the multi-agent systems domain to enable the code generation of agent architectures.

“…The XAspects project [22] implements a system to map DSALs to AspectJ source code. The approach addresses the need to compose aspects written in multiple DSAL, but does not provide explicit mechanisms to deal with interactions between aspects, other than suggesting the use of the AspectJ declare precedence construct.…”

Domain specific aspect languages (DSALs) are becoming more popular because they can be designed to represent recurring concerns in a way that is optimized for a specific domain. However, the design and implementation of even a limited domain-specific aspect language can be a tedious job. To address this, we propose a framework that offers a fast way to prototype implementations of domain specific aspect languages. A particular goal of the framework is to be general enough to support a wide range of aspect language concepts, such that existing language concepts can be easily used, and new language concepts can be quickly created. We briefly introduce the framework and its underlying model, as well as the workflow used when implementing DSALs. Subsequently, we show mappings of several domain specific aspect languages to demonstrate the framework. Since in our approach the DSALs are mapped to a common model, the framework provides an integrating platform allowing us to compose programs that use aspects written in multiple DSALs. The framework also provides explicit mechanisms to specify composition of advices written in multiple DSALs.
