Crosscutting concerns are an intrinsic problem of legacy systems, hindering their
maintenance and evolution. A possible solution is to modernize these systems employing …

Abstract Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) has arisen as a new technology to support a
better SoC (Separation of Concerns), intending to contribute to the development of reusable …

BACKGROUND: Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is a paradigm that
promotes advanced separation of concerns and modularity throughout the software …

Architecture-Driven Modernization is the new generation of software reengineering. The
main idea is to modernize legacy systems using a set of standard models. The first step is to …

In model-driven development (MDD), domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) act as
a communication vehicle for aligning the requirements of domain experts with the needs of …

Several modeling profiles for aspect-oriented software have been proposed in the literature;
however, many of them lack important concepts or have deficiencies when used for code …

In this paper, we present the birth, growth, and maturation of Aspect-Oriented Software
Development (AOSD) research over the last years, with emphasis on the Brazilian AOSD …

Abstract Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) is a special kind of reengineering that
employs models along the process. The main ADM metamodel is the Knowledge Discovery …

The idea of applying the biological principle of natural evolution to artificial systems,
introduced more than three decades ago, has seen impressive growth in the past few years …

Content-based systems retrieve images based on lowlevel features (color, texture) while the
user usually seeks some objects from real world. As segmentation is never accurate, such …
