CaesarJ is an aspect-oriented language which unifies aspects, classes and packages in a
single powerful construct that helps to solve a set of different problems of both aspect …

Many dynamic analysis tools for programs written in managed languages such as Java rely
on bytecode instrumentation. Tool development is often tedious because of the use of low …

Context-aware applications behave differently depending on the context in which they are
running. Since context-specific behavior tends to crosscut base programs, it can …

In this paper we present PROSE, a system that performs reversible and systematic changes
to running Java applications without requiring them to be shut down. PROSE is motivated by …

The ability to debug programs composed using aspect-oriented programming (AOP)
techniques is critical to the adoption of AOP. Nevertheless, many AOP systems lack …

Aspect-oriented programming languages usually are extensions of object-oriented ones,
and their compilation target is usually the (virtual) machine model of the language they …

Self-adaptive software has become increasingly important to address the new challenges of
complex computing systems. To achieve adaptation, software must be designed and …

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) eases the development of profilers, debuggers, and
reverse engineering tools. Such tools frequently rely on calling context information …

Current approaches to compiling aspect-oriented programs are inefficient. This inefficiency
has negative effects on the productivity of the development process and is especially …

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is increasingly gaining in popularity. However, the
focus of aspect-oriented language research has been mostly on language design issues; …
