Aspect-oriented software design with a variant of UML/STD

The notion of aspect is important as a systematic approach to the representation of cross-cutting concerns and the incremental additions of new functionalities to an existing system. Since UML is a modeling language used in early stages of software development, studying how UML is related to aspectual software is an important topic. This paper proposes a way of introducing the join point model (JPM) to UML/STD. The proposed extension is smoothly integrated with the core part of the execution semantics adapted by the UML standard.
