Modularity is essential for creating evolvable software. Traditional programming languages
limit the level of modularity that can be achieved because they provide only one way to …

The effective assessment of emerging modularization technologies plays a pivotal role on:(i)
a better understanding of their real benefits and drawbacks when compared to conventional …

Although it is assumed that the implementation of design by contract is better modularized
by means of aspect-oriented (AO) programming, there is no empirical evidence on the …

Aspect oriented software development has been applied in past years with the promise of
improving modularization by addressing crosscutting concerns. Many studies have been …

Program enhancement refers to adding new functionality to an existing program. We argue
that repetitive program enhancement tasks can be expressed as patterns, and that the …

This paper presents a study of the support for modularity of Object Teams, an aspect‐
oriented language backwards compatible with Java. The study is based on implementations …

This paper presents a composition of four particular aspect-oriented design patterns: Policy,
Cuckoo's Egg, Border Control and Exception Introduction. The composition is studied in the …

Abstract Design patterns provide solutions to recurring design problems in object-oriented
programming. Design patterns typically crosscut class boundaries so previous work aimed …

Identifying and analyzing aspectual requirements manually is very resource intensive due to
the broadly scoped nature of aspects and the large volumes and ambiguity of requirements …

Recommender systems are intelligent applications that provide assistance to users by giving
personalized product recommendations based on user preferences. Many recommendation …
