Embedding security enforcement code into applications is an alternative to traditional
security mechanisms. This dissertation supports the thesis that such Inlined Reference …

A characteristic of aspect-oriented programming, as embodied in Aspect J, is the use of
advice and point cuts to define behavior that crosscuts the structure of the rest of the code …

Advice is a mechanism used by advanced object-oriented and aspect-oriented
programming languages to augment the behavior of methods in a program. Advice can help …

Aspect-Oriented Programming promises separation of concerns at the implementation level.
However, aspects are not always orrthogonal and aspect interaction is a fundamental …

We introduce a language and system that supports definition and composition of complex
run-time security policies for Java applications. Our policies are comprised of two sorts of …

A software product-line is a family of related programs. Each program is defined by a unique
combination of features, where a feature is an increment in program functionality …

A dataflow-based pointcut is proposed for aspect-oriented programming (AOP) languages.
The pointcut specifies where aspects should be applied based on the origins of values. It is …

This paper defines an object-oriented language with harmless aspect-oriented advice. A
piece of harmless advice is a computation that, like ordinary aspect-oriented advice …

Generic categories of aspects are described, and their potential value is explained. For
some categories, broad classes of syntactically identifiable temporal properties, such as …

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 …
