More and more works are done on design patterns and aspect-oriented programming. These works mainly propose to use aspect-oriented programming mechanisms to provide new implementations of objectoriented design patterns. This paper illustrates our own approach by presenting an aspect-oriented implementation of the GoF Strategy pattern, and claims implementation is not sufficient: aspect-orientat...

Aspect-oriented programming is an extension to object-orientation with the goal of separating the concerns of domain logic from application logic. The essay aims at looking at aspect-oriented from a theoretical perspective, trying to place it within the existing framework provided by object-orientation. The first section is an introduction to objectorientation. Here I will present the most comm...

We are investigating the application of aspect-oriented principles as an aid toward improving the capabilities of domain-specific modeling. The approach, in general, provides transformations by weaving modeling aspects into a base model. The modeling aspects provide variation points within the model and can be used to drive the synthesis of the model into different artifacts. In this brief posi...

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) has emerged recently as a language concept for expressing cross-cutting concerns, mainly in object-oriented software. Since then, the concept has been applied to a wide variety of other contexts. In this paper, we explore some cross-cutting concerns for parallel programs of reactive systems: we propose an aspect language, Larissa, and a weaving mechanism, in a ...

As a security policy model evolves, the design of security systems using that model could become increasingly complicated. It is necessary to come up with an approach to guide the development, reuse and evolution of the design. In this paper, we propose an aspect-oriented design approach to designing flexible and extensible security systems. A case study demonstrates that such an approach has m...

This is a preview of the workshop on Aspect-Oriented Programming at ICSE 98. It includes an overview of the position papers. The workshop takes place on Monday, April the 2

This paper presents and analyzes the encoding of aspect in Heritage Russian (HR), an incompletely acquired language spoken by those for whom another language became dominant at an early age. The HR aspectual system is distinct from the baseline. Aspectual distinctions are lost due to the leveling or loss of morphological marking. As a result, heritage speakers often maintain only one member of ...

Stepwise refinement (SWR) is fundamental to software engineering. As aspect-oriented programming (AOP) gains momentum in software development, aspects should be subject to SWR as well. In this paper, we introduce the notion of aspect refinement that unifies AOP and SWR. To reflect this unification to programming language level, we present an implementation technique for refining aspects based o...

We propose a methodology, based on Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM), for incorporating security mechanisms in an application. The functionality of the application is described using the primary model and the attacks are specified using aspects. The attack aspect is composed with the primary model to obtain the misuse model. The misuse model describes how much the application can be compromised. I...
