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

In aspect-oriented programming, pointcuts are used to describe crosscutting structure.
Pointcuts that abstract over irrelevant implementation details are clearly desired to better …

The development of applications for high-performance embedded systems is typically a long
and error-prone process. In addition to the required functions, developers must consider …

Implicit invocation (II) and aspect-oriented (AO) languages provide related but distinct
mechanisms for separation of concerns. II languages have explicitly announced events that …

Programming errors occur frequently in large software systems, and even more so if these
systems are concurrent. In the past researchers have developed specialized programs to aid …

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

These notes are an introduction to. QL, an object-oriented query language for any type of
structured data. We illustrate the use of. QL in assessing software quality, namely to find …

The development of applications for high‐performance embedded systems is a long and
error‐prone process because in addition to the required functionality, developers must …

Abstract Usually, Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) languages are an extension of a
specific target programming language (eg, AspectJ for Java and AspectC++ for C++) …

In the past, researchers have developed specialized programs to aid programmers in
detecting concurrent programming errors such as deadlocks, livelocks, starvation, and data …
