06302 Summary – Aspects For Legacy Applications

Authors: Leon Moonen, Ganesan Ramalingam, and Siobhán Clarke

Abstract
This paper provides a summary of the objectives, structure, and the outcome of Dagstuhl seminar #06302 on Aspects For Legacy Applications, held from July 26th to July 29th 2006 at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany. The goal of the seminar was to bring together researchers from the domains of aspect oriented software development, software reengineering (with a focus on reverse engineering, program comprehension, software evolution and software maintenance) and program analysis to investigate how aspects can help us to understand, maintain, and transform legacy software systems.

A common framework for aspect mining based on crosscutting concern sorts

Authors: Marius Marin, Leon Moonen, and Arie van Deursen

Abstract
The increasing number of aspect mining techniques proposed in literature calls for a methodological way of comparing and combining them in order to assess, and improve on, their quality. This paper addresses this situation by proposing a common framework based on crosscutting concern sorts which allows for consistent assessment, comparison and combination of aspect mining techniques. The framework identifies a set of requirements that ensure homogeneity in formulating the mining goals, presenting the results and assessing their quality. We demonstrate feasibility of the approach by retrofitting an existing aspect mining technique to the framework, and by using it to design and implement two new mining techniques. We apply the three techniques to a known aspect mining benchmark and show how they can be consistently assessed and combined to increase the quality of the results. The techniques and combinations are implemented in FINT, our publicly available free aspect mining tool.

Face-off: AOP+LMP vs. legacy software

Authors: Kris De Schutter and Bram Adams

Abstract
Our presentation relates on a first attempt to see if aspect-oriented programming (AOP) can really help with the revitalisation of legacy business software. By means of four realistic case studies covering reverse engineering, restructuring and integration, we discuss the applicability of the aspect-oriented paradigm in the context of two major programming languages for such environments: Cobol and C. For each case, we consider both advantages and disadvantages.

HAM: Cross-cutting Concerns in Eclipse

Authors: Silvia Breu, Thomas Zimmermann, and Christian Lindig

Abstract
As programs evolve, newly added functionality sometimes does no longer align with the original design, ending up scattered across the software system. Aspect mining tries to identify such cross-cutting concerns in a program to support maintenance, or as a first step towards an aspect-oriented program. Previous approaches to aspect mining applied static or dynamic program analysis techniques to a single version of a system.We leverage all versions from a system's CVS history to mine aspect candidates with our Eclipse plug-in HAM: when a single CVS commit adds calls to the same (small) set of methods in many unrelated locations, these method calls are likely to be cross-cutting. HAM employs formal concept analysis to identify aspect candidates. Analysing one commit at a time makes the approach scale to industrial-sized programs. In an evaluation we mined cross-cutting concerns from Eclipse 3.2M3 and found that up to 90% of the top-10 aspect candidates are truly cross-cutting concerns.

Mining Additions of Method Calls in ArgoUML

Authors: Silvia Breu, Thomas Zimmermann, Christian Lindig, and Benjamin Livshits

Abstract
In this paper we refine the classical co-change to the addition of method calls. We use this concept to find usage patterns and to identify cross-cutting concerns for ArgoUML.

Mining Aspects from Version History

Authors: Silvia Breu and Thomas Zimmermann

Abstract
As software evolves, new functionality sometimes no longer aligns with the original design, ending up scattered across a program. Aspect mining identifies such cross-cutting concerns in order to then help migrating a system to a better design, maybe even to an aspect-oriented design. We address this task by applying formal concept analysis to a program's history: method calls added across many locations are likely to be cross-cutting. By taking this historical perspective, we introduce a new dimension to aspect mining. As we only analyse changes from one version to the next, the technique is independent of a system's total size and scales up to industrial-sized projects such as Eclipse.

Mining Eclipse for CrossCutting

Authors: Silvia Breu, Thomas Zimmermann, and Christian Lindig

Abstract
Software may contain functionality that does not align with its architecture. Such cross-cutting concerns do not exist from the beginning but emerge over time. By analysing where developers add code to a program, our history-based mining identifies cross-cutting concerns in a two-step process. First, we mine CVS archives for sets of methods where a call to a specific single method was added. In a second step, simple cross-cutting concerns are combined to complex cross-cutting concerns. To compute these efficiently, we apply formal concept analysis – an algebraic theory. Unlike approaches based on static or dynamic analysis, history-based mining for cross-cutting concerns scales to industrial-sized projects: For example, we identified a locking concern that cross-cuts 1284 methods in the open-source project Eclipse.

Rule-based Model Extraction from Source Code

Authors: Rui Correia, Carlos Matos, Mohammad El-Ramly, and Reiko Heckel

Abstract
In the context of an approach for reengineering legacy soft- ware systems at the architectural level, we present in this paper a reverse engineering methodology that uses a model de¯ned as a type graph to represent source-code subject to a code categorization process. Two al- ternative methods for referencing the source code are discussed: native vs. graphical. To represent the code, the native representation uses the abstract syntax tree while the graphical uses a programming language metamodel. Two options regarding the way that the graph can relate to the source code reference model are also considered: association model vs. direct link. The extraction of the program representation, complying to the type graph, is based on rules that categorize source code according to its purpose. The techniques to address this process, such as the code categorization rules, are shown together with examples.
