Abstract

Abstraction, modularity and composability are considered to be the fundamental properties behind aspect-oriented software development and aspect-oriented modeling (AOM) in particular. The same properties are expected to be supported through the use of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs). However, little research is done to investigate the symbiosis between the two paradigms. In this position paper we firstly present the key challenges for the successful integration of DSMLs with an AOM approach. Furthermore, we elaborate in detail on the question whether leveraging on aspect-oriented programming languages offers benefits over the use of traditional model composition. We propose an experimental approach to evaluate these alter- natives.
