Adapting Aspect-Oriented Applications: A Trial Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
During a system’s life cycle, new requirements or changes in the existing ones imply modifying the system. Aspect-oriented software development is a new approach to the modularization of systems, yet it does not provide mechanisms to aid the evolution of software. The effort required to support the evolution greatly depends on the tool used for its construction. For this reason, the selection of a tool should also take into account its support for implementing evolving requirements. In this paper we present a comparison of two different tools, AspectJ and Alpheus, to support the construction and evolution of aspect-oriented applications. AspectJ is an aspect-oriented programming language based on Java. Alpheus is an aspect-oriented development tool based on a reflective framework. Keyword. System evolution, unanticipated system evolution, aspect-oriented applications, aosd evolution, reflective architecture for aspects.

On the Role of Interceptors and AOP in Adapting CORBA Applications
∗ This work is partially supported by the Brazilian Agency CNPq project 552007/2002-1. Abstract. In this paper we describe two meta-programming strategies that have been used to extend CORBA-based applications with minimal or no impact on existing application code: CORBA interceptors and aspect-oriented programming (AOP). We compare the benefits of using AOP with those of exploiting interceptor...
متن کاملAchieving Life-Cycle Compliance of Service-Oriented Architectures: Open Issues and Challenges
The introduction of regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley act requires companies to ensure that appropriate controls are implemented in their business applications. Implementing and validating compliance measures in ‘agile’ companies is time consuming, costly, errorprone and a maintenance-intensive task. This paper presents an approach towards dynamically adapting a Service Oriented Architectu...
متن کاملDeveloping Applications with Aspect-Oriented Change Realization
An approach to aspect-oriented change realization is proposed in this paper. With aspect-oriented programming changes can be treated explicitly and directly at the programming language level. Aspect-oriented change realizations are mainly based on aspect-oriented design patterns or themselves constitute pattern-like forms in connection to which domain independent change types can be identified....
متن کاملPatterns for Re-usable Aspects in Object Teams
Aspect-oriented software development still lacks practical evidence. While aspects are claimed to be useful in adapting existing applications there is also first evidence that they might themselves be re-usable. We present results from two case studies with the aspect-oriented programming language ObjectTeams/Java that investigate the re-usability of aspects in developing a security framework. ...
متن کاملA Reflective Framework for Fine-Grained Adaptation of Aspect-Oriented Compositions
Dynamic Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) technologies typically provide coarse-grained mechanisms for adapting aspects that cross-cut a system deployment; i.e. whole aspect modules can be added and removed at runtime. However, in this paper we demonstrate that adaptation of the finer-grained elements of individual aspect modules is required in highly dynamic systems and applications. We presen...
