Such "cross-cutting concerns" include things like interrupt events, exception handling, and security protocols.
Like code, data also has cross-cutting concerns such as versioning, security, privacy, and reliability.
Our validation agents utilise "component aspects" that describe functional and non-functional cross-cutting concerns impacting software components.
Aspect-oriented (AO) modeling allows developers to model the cross-cutting behavior independently of the normal behavior, thus supporting model-based testing of cross-cutting concerns.
In this case, however, there are evidently many cross-cutting concerns, such as decision outcomes, for example, that do not fit neatly into one or the other concern.
However, aspects addressing cross-cutting concerns need to be incorporated in an object-oriented design without support from a higher-level design.
The main motivations of this work are (1) identifying cross-cutting concerns in existing agent-oriented code, and (2) making them explicitly available to software engineers involved in the evolution of agent-oriented code in order to facilitate its refactoring and, consequently, to improve its understandability, reusability and maintainability.
Accordingly the work, reported here, proposes, analyses, and assesses a formal representation and reasoning technique for mobile medical decision support systems that handles the separate and cross-cutting concerns of the systems by using a formal calculus of first order logic.
By eliminating this duplication, aspect weavers promote modularity of cross-cutting concerns.
Cross-cutting concerns CPMRS design and some aspects of its implementation took gender and equity issues into account.
