Supporting Flexible Object Database Evolution with Aspects

Object database management systems (ODBMSs) typically offer fixed approaches to evolve the schema of the database and adapt existing instances accordingly. Applications, however, have very specialised evolution requirements that can often not be met by the fixed approach offered by the ODBMS. In this paper, we discuss how aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has been employed in the AspOEv evolution framework, which supports
