An aspect observes the execution of a base program; when certain actions occur, the aspect
runs some extra code of its own. In the AspectJ language, the observations that an aspect …

Ksplice allows system administrators to apply patches to their operating system kernels
without rebooting. Unlike previous hot update systems, Ksplice operates at the object code …

Nearly ten years after its first presentation and five years after its first application to operating
systems, the suitability of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) for the development of …

This paper describes MATA (Modeling Aspects Using a Transformation Approach), a UML
aspect-oriented modeling (AOM) technique that uses graph transformations to specify and …

In spite of the more advanced modularisation mechanisms, aspect-oriented programs still
suffer from evolution problems. Due to the fragile pointcut problem, seemingly safe …

Distribution-related concerns, such as data replication, often crosscut the business code of a
distributed application. Currently such crosscutting concerns are frequently realized on top …

We present in this paper a framework, Rmor, for monitoring the execution of C programs
against state machines, expressed in a textual (non-graphical) format in files separate from …

Simulink is widely used for model-driven development (MDD) of cyber-physical systems.
Typically, the Simulink-based development starts with Stateflow modeling, followed by …

A trace monitor observes an execution trace at runtime; when it recognises a specified
sequence of events, the monitor runs extra code. In the aspect-oriented programming …

Aspects have been successfully promoted as a means to improve the modularization of
software in the presence of crosscutting concerns. The socalled aspect interference problem …
