This paper proposes that the distinguishing characteristic of Aspect-Oriented Programming
(AOP) systems is that they allow programming by making quantified programmatic …

This paper presents JAC (Java Aspect Components), a framework for aspect-oriented
programming in Java. Unlike languages such as AspectJ which are mostly class-based, JAC …

A crosscut language is used to describe at which points an aspect crosscuts a program. An
important issue is how these points can be captured using the crosscut language without …

The need to dynamically modify running applications arises in systems that must adapt to
changes in their environment, in updating long-running systems that cannot be halted and …

Support for dynamic and client-specific customization is required in many application areas.
We present a (distributed) application as consisting of a minimal functional core …

While many object-oriented languages impose space overhead of only one word per object
to support features like virtual method dispatch, Java's richer functionality has led to …

Aspects that trigger on a sequence of join points instead of on a single join point are not
explicitly supported in current Aspect-Oriented approaches. Explicit protocols are however …

In addition to publishing composite services as reusable services, compositions can also be
reused by applying them to orchestrate different component services. To do so, it is …
