An Aspect-Oriented Communication Middleware System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a Java-based communication middleware, called AspectJRMI, that applies aspect-oriented programming concepts to achieve the following requirements: (1) modular implementation of its features, including those with a crosscutting behavior; (2) high degree of configurability and adaptability; (3) performance similar to conventional object-oriented communication middleware systems, such as CORBA and Java RMI. In AspectJRMI, users may explicitly select the features provided by the middleware infrastructure, according to their needs. Most of these features have a crosscutting behavior, including interceptors, oneway calls, asynchronous calls, value-result parameter passing, and collocation optimizations. In this case, they are implemented as aspects. The design of AspectJRMI follows a set of principles, called horizontal decomposition, to achieve pluggability of aspects to the core middleware implementation. This paper presents the programming interface and the implementation of AspectJRMI. It also presents experimental results of its performance.

AspectIX: A Middleware for Aspect-Oriented Programming
Object-based middleware systems, like CORBA, provide the basis for object-based distributed applications. For aspects concerning distributed programming an aspect weaver has to generate code which interacts with the middleware system. As parts of these aspects often have to be implemented on top of the middleware, weavers are very dependent on the middleware system and on the implementations on...
متن کاملAccess control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
متن کاملModelling Event Systems for AmI Applications Using an Aspect Middleware Platform1
The development of a communication service is one of the most difficult and important challenges when developing Ambient Intelligence (AmI) applications. Since AmI applications must be able to react to external events, event-based communication is a natural way to disseminate such events amongst all interested AmI components. A wide range of diverse event systems have been developed for address...
متن کاملIn Support of an Aspect-oriented Approach to Migrating Distributed Applications
Migrating distributed applications from one middleware to another is difficult in legacy software systems where middleware functionality is spread across and tangled with business logic. In these systems, the old middleware code has to be removed before the application is refactored and the new middleware functionality is added. However, when distributed applications are developed in an aspect-...
متن کاملCollocation optimizations in an aspect-oriented middleware system
In distributed object-oriented systems, there are situations where client and server objects are deployed in the same address space. In such scenarios, it is possible to dispatch remote calls without having to transverse the infrastructure provided by the underlying communication middleware system and thus without incurring the overhead of using a networking loopback interface. Such optimizatio...
