The Java programming language and platform provide many optimizations to execute
statically typed code efficiently. Although Java has gradually incorporated more dynamic …

Modern software systems are not built from scratch. They use functionality provided by
libraries. These libraries evolve and often upgrades are deployed without the systems being …

The separation of concerns design principle improves software reutilization,
understandability, extensibility and maintainability. By using the objectoriented paradigm, it …

The measurement of the resources consumed by an application at runtime is an important
task in different scenarios such as program optimization, malware and bug detection, and …

Adaptability is an intrinsic property of software systems that require adaptation to cope with
dynamically changing environments. Achieving adaptability is challenging. Variability is a …

This paper describes one solution for execution of JavaScript code inside Java Enterprise
Edition (Java EE) application servers. Since Java Virtual Machine (Java VM) is able to …

Context The aspect-oriented paradigm is aimed at solving the code scattering and tangling
problem, providing new mechanisms to support better separation of concerns. For specific …

Abstract Aspect Oriented Software Development (AOSD) has been considered one of the
most promising abstractions to make software structure more maintainable and configurable …

The measurement of the resources consumed by an application at runtime is an important
task in different scenarios such as program optimization, malware and bug detection, and …

Statically typed languages such as Java offer two key advantages: robustness increase due
to compile time error detection, and better runtime performance caused by the reduction of …
