Face-off: AOP+LMP vs. legacy software

This paper applies a mix of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) and logic meta-programming (LMP) to tackle some concerns of/in legacy environments. We present four different problems, and illustrate --with code-- how far AOP+LMP gets us. The legacy environments subjected to this treatment encompass the two major players: C, and (of course) Cobol. The aspect code is based on, respectively, Aspicere and Cobble, two aspect languages (being) developed by the authors.
