Metaprogramming is the process of writing computer programs that treat programs as data,
enabling them to analyze or transform existing programs or generate new ones. While the …

The complexity of information systems is increasing in recent years, leading to increased
effort for maintenance and configuration. Self-adaptive systems (SASs) address this issue …

Omniscient debuggers make it possible to navigate backwards in time within a program
execution trace, drastically improving the task of debugging complex applications. Still, they …

During the process of developing and maintaining a complex software system, developers
pose detailed questions about the runtime behavior of the system. Source code views offer …

Driven by the emergence of pervasive computing and the increasing need for self-managed
systems, many approaches have been proposed for building software that can dynamically …

Proxies are a powerful approach to implement meta-objects in object-oriented languages
without having to resort to metacircular interpretation. We introduce such a meta-level API …

Self-adaptability has been proposed as an effective approach to automate the complexity
associated with the management of modern-day software systems. While over the past …

Domain-Specific Aspect Languages (DSALs) are Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs)
designed to express crosscutting concerns. Compared to DSLs, their aspectual nature …

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 …
