The idea for this book arose from a series of lectures on modern programming paradigms,
feature-oriented programming, and software product lines that are continuously held at the …

A number of effective error detection tools have been built in recent years to check if a
program conforms to certain design rules. An important class of design rules deals with …

Aspects cut new interfaces through the primary decomposition of a system. This implies that
in the presence of aspects, the complete interface of a module can only be determined once …

Research in the design of aspect-oriented programming languages requires a workbench
that facilitates easy experimentation with new language features and implementation …

This paper proposes Archface, an interface mechanism for bridging the gap between
architectural design and its implementation. Archface, which encapsulates design essence …

The current AspectJ join points represent locations in the code that are the interface of the
Java objects. However, not all the" things that happen" happen at the interfaces. In …

The landscape of security vulnerabilities has changed dramatically in the last several years.
While buffer overruns and format string violations accounted for a large fraction of all …

Aspect oriented programming has been proposed as a way to improve modularity of
software systems by allowing encapsulation of cross-cutting concerns. To do so, aspects …

Through implicit invocation, procedures are called without explicitly referencing them.
Implicit announcement adds to this implicitness by not only keeping implicit which …

There are numerous mechanisms for separation of concerns at the source code level. Three
mechanisms that are the focus of recent attention–metadata annotations, pointcuts and …
