ABSTRACT. Aspect-orientation promises better modularity than pure object-oriented decomposition. A typical benefit of increased modularity is ease of maintenance, evolution and reu...
Domain specific aspect languages (DSALs) are becoming more popular because they can be designed to represent recurring concerns in a way that is optimized for a specific domain. H...
Several aspect languages and frameworks have recognized the need for dynamic deployment of aspects. However, they do not provide sufficiently expressive means to precisely specify...
Abstract. Being able to define and use different aspect languages, including domain-specific aspect languages, to cleanly modularize concerns of a software system represents a v...
Transaction management is a known crosscutting concern. Previous research has been conducted to express this concern as an aspect. However, such work has used general-purpose aspe...
Aspect oriented programming can arbitrarily distort the semantics of programs. In particular, weaving can invalidate crucial safety and liveness properties of the base program. In...
In aspect-oriented programming languages, advice evaluation is usually considered as part of the base program evaluation. This is also the case for certain pointcuts, such as if p...
