Exception handling mechanisms are intended to support the development of robust
software. However, the implementation of such mechanisms with aspect-oriented (AO) …

The effective management and composition of architectural variabilities has long been of
importance to product line architects. Architects need to describe how conceptual …

Many of the problems that stem from the use of exception handling are caused by the local
way in which exceptions are handled. It demands that developers understand the source of …

Architecture level decisions, directly influenced by environmental factors, are crucial to
preserve modularity and stability throughout software development life cycle. Tradeoffs of …

Software measures are often used to assess program comprehension, although their
applicability is discussed controversially. Often, their application is based on plausibility …

With the increasing dependence on software systems, their longevity is becoming a pressing
need. Stability is envisioned as a primary property to achieve longevity. Stability has been …

Currently, non-functional requirements (NFRs) consume a considerable part of the software
development effort. The good news is that most of them appear time and again during …

Abstract Context Architecture description languages (ADLs) are a well-accepted approach to
software architecture representation. The majority of well-known ADLs are defined by means …

Design of stable software architectures has increasingly been a deep challenge to software
developers due to the high volatility of their concerns and respective design decisions …

The lack of architecturally-significant mechanisms for aspectual composition might artificially
hinder the specification of stable and reusable design aspects. Current aspect-oriented …
