Event-Specific Software Composition in Context-Oriented Programming
نویسندگان
چکیده
Context-oriented programming (COP) introduces dedicated abstractions for the modularization and dynamic composition of crosscutting context-specific functionality. While existing COP languages offer constructs for control-flow specific composition, they do not yet consider the explicit representation of event-specific context-dependent behavior, for which we observe two distinguishing properties: First, context can affect several control flows. Second, events can establish new contexts asynchronously. In this paper, we propose new language constructs for event-specific composition and explicit context representation and introduce their implementation in JCop, our COP extension to Java.

Applying aspect-oriented programming ideas in a component based context: Composition Adapters
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a new programming methodology that enables the modularization of crosscutting concerns. Until now, the emphasis of AOP research lays on being able to modularize these concerns in an object-oriented context. However, the same problem also applies to the component based software engineering domain. In this paper we propose a solution, namely composition adapte...
متن کاملValidation of Context-Dependent Aspect-Oriented Adaptations to Components
All potential component non-functional properties needed by third parties for late composition can not be anticipated beforehand, as they tend to be context-dependent. Moreover, those quality properties tend to be hard to modularize and can hardly be factored out of components. Developers therefore tend to embed non-functional properties within domain-specific frameworks and components. We aim ...
متن کاملProgramming Languages for End-User Personalization of Cyber-Physical Systems
The increased usage of smart devices and appliances opens new venues to build applications that integrate physical and virtual world into consumer-oriented context-sensitive cyber-physical systems (CPS). Since physical processes are dynamic, concurrent, event-driven, and powered by various sensors, controllers, and actuators, a combination of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and event-driven...
متن کاملDeclarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملSoftware Service Engineering - Architect's Dream or Developer's Nightmare?
Architectural principles such as loose coupling are the key drivers behind the adoption of service-oriented architectures. Service-oriented architectures promote concepts such as composition, process modeling, protocol design, declarative programming, event-based programming, and object-document mapping. These architectural ideals can be fraught with challenges for developers who are faced with...
