Resumo


Com o amadurecimento das pesquisas em Desenvolvimento de Software Orientado a Aspectos (DSOA) é necessário investigar se as abstrações das Linguagens de Descrição de Arquitetura (ADLs) são adequadas para modelar interesses arquiteturais transversais. Nesse artigo apresentamos o conceito de Conector Aspectual (AC), um tipo especial de conector arquitetural, como a única abstração adicional necessária em ADLs para permitir a integração entre DSOA e arquitetura de software. Apresentamos também AspectualACME, uma extensão de ACME que incorpora ACs e mecanismos adicionais para modularizar interesses arquiteturais transversais. Um sistema de informação Web é usado como estudo de caso para ilustrar a expressividade de AspectualACME.
