Aspect-Oriented Modeling Method for Real-Time Information Systems

To address real time information system development, principled methods are needed to specify, develop, compose, integrate, and validate the application and system software based on MDA approach. These methods must enforce the component composition of real time systems, as well as satisfy the system's stringent functional and nonfunctional requirements. Achieving these goals requires aspect-oriented Model Driven System (MDM) methods that allow developers to specify application and system non-functional requirements. In this paper, we propose a four-stage method of aspect-oriented MDA for non-functional properties to develop real-time information systems. Four stages of the proposed aspect-oriented method are: ACIM stage, APIM stage, APSM stage, aspects of the code model stage. We illustrated the proposed method by the development of EAS and demonstrated four-stage method of aspect-oriented MDA that can be used for modeling complex system' non-functional characteristics, effectively reduce the complexity of software development and coupling between modules to enhance the system's modular.
