JavaScript is widely used to build increasingly complex Web applications. Unsurprisingly,
these applications need to address cross-cutting concerns. Therefore support for aspect …

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 …

Context. There is a trend in the software industry towards building systems that dynamically
adapt their behavior in response to their surrounding environment, given the proliferation of …

Block joinpoints allow programmers to explicitly mark regions of base code as" to be
advised", thus avoiding the need to extract the block into a method just for the sake of …

Traditional treatment of scoping in programming languages considers two opposite
semantics: static scoping, where the scope of a binding is a block of program text, and …

It is inevitable that some concerns crosscut a sizeable application, resulting in code
scattering and tangling. This issue is particularly severe for security-related concerns: It is …

In most aspects, advice are synchronously executed by application threads, which may
cause high overhead if advice execution is frequent or computationally expensive. When …

Distributed systems are commonly required to be flexible and scalable, as the number and
arrangement of their (potentially mobile) devices may easily change. Security in distributed …

Can access control be fully modularized as an aspect? Most proposals for aspect-oriented
access control are limited to factoring out access control checks, still relying on a non …

Over the last five years, several systems have been proposed to take distribution into
account in Aspect-Oriented Programming. While they appeared to be fruitful to develop or …
