• 論文抄録 / 内容記述: Cohesion is an internal software attribute representing the degree to which the components are bound together within a software module. Cohesion is considered to be a desirable goal in software development leading to better values for external attributes such as maintainability reusability and reliability. Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) is a new technique to support separation of concerns in software development. AOSD introduces a new kind of component called {?it aspect} which is like a class also consisting of attributes (aspect instance variables) and those modules such as advice introduction pointcuts and methods. The cohesion for such an aspect is therefore mainly about how tightly the attributes and modules of aspects cohere. To test this hypothesis cohesion measures for aspects are needed. In this paper we propose an approach to assessing the aspect cohesion based on dependence analysis. To this end we present various types of dependencies between attributes and/or modules in an aspect and the aspect dependence graph (ADG) to explicitly represent these dependencies. Based on the ADG we formally define some aspect cohesion measures. We also discuss the properties of these dependencies and according to these properties we prove that these measures satisfy the properties that a good measure should have.
