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...

Over the last ten years there has been a major shift in programming language design from procedural languages to object-oriented languages. Most universities have adopted an object-oriented language for their first programming course. However, far less consideration has been given to the program development environment. In this paper we argue that the environment is possibly more important than...

XML is the de facto standard for exchanging data between aribtrary applications. There are many efforts to integrate XML into object-oriented programming languages reaching from the simple document object model (DOM) to XML class generators or even to the introduction of new programming languages. Another as desired feature as XML is persistency. The integration of persistency into object-orien...

There have been many attempts to integrate object-oriented and functional programming. Solving the connicting requirements is dif-cult and only recently has a language, CLOVER, been designed that is both purely functional and purely object-oriented (and retains complete type safety). In this paper, we introduce the CLOVER rewrite rules by presenting a translation from CLOVER to a simple functio...

Object-oriented programming has brought many advantages to the software engineering community. Especially, the reuse of existing software components and application frameworks has improved the productivity in software development considerably. Now, the object-oriented programming paradigm has advanced in years and increasingly object-oriented software systems have to be maintained. Program comp...
