Weaving AspectJ Aspects by means of transformations

In the last few years, new software paradigms, such as Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) or Model Driven Development (MDD), have been brought up in order to improve software adaptability to changes. MDA improves the adaption to different technologies by means of three di-fferent levels of modelling. This paper is focused on the platform specific level, and proposes the use of transforma-tions to weave AspectJ aspects and the basic functionality at the modelling level before the code generation phase. 1
