Aspect-Oriented Action Semantics Descriptions

The modularity of programming language descriptions allows the designer to describe each programming language feature in a separated module that can be studied independently of others. Action Semantics is a formal notation that produce modular descriptions of programming languages. This paper proposes to use concepts of Aspect-oriented programming to improve the modularity of action semantics descriptions. To achieve this goal, an aspect-oriented notation is proposed and applied to describe some programming language concepts.
