A Generative Approach to Aspect-Oriented Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) offers new insights and tools for the modular development of systems with cross-cutting features. Current tool support for AOSD is provided mainly in the form of code-level constructs. This paper presents a way to express cross-cutting features as logical invariants and to use generative techniques to produce the kind of code that is usually written manually in AOSD. In order to state invariants that express cross-cutting features, we often need to reify certain extra-computational values such as history or the runtime call stack. The generative approach is illustrated by a variety of examples.

An Aspect-Oriented Approach to Framework Development
In this work, we propose an approach which aims to improve the extensibility of object-oriented frameworks using aspect-oriented programming. Our approach proposes the definition of extension join points in the framework code, which can be extended by means of a set of extension aspects. These aspects are responsible to implement optional, alternative and integration features in the framework. ...
متن کاملIntegrating Generative and Aspect-Oriented Technologies
Over the last years, two new software engineering approaches have been proposed: generative programming and aspect-oriented software development. Generative programming addresses the study and definition of methods and tools that enable the automatic production of system families from a high-level specification. Aspect-oriented software development has been proposed as a technique for improving...
متن کاملGenerative aspect-oriented component adaptation
Abstract As a solution to eliminating component mismatches, this paper presents a generative aspect oriented approach to component adaptation. The approach enjoys high level of automation and capability of deep level adaptation, which is achieved in an aspect-oriented component adaptation framework by generating and then applying the adaptation aspects under designed weaving process. The aspect...
متن کاملTowards a Method for the Development of Aspect-Oriented Generative Approaches
Generative programming and aspect-oriented software development have been proposed over the last years aiming at increasing maintainability and reusability of software systems. While several research works have focused on the investigation of the individual use of each of these software engineering approaches, less attention has been paid to the integration of these two techniques. The integrat...
متن کاملAutomating Middleware Specializations for Fault Tolerance
General-purpose middleware solutions, by definition, cannot readily support domain-specific semantics without significant manual efforts in specializing the middleware. This paper presents GRAFT (GeneRative Aspects for Fault Tolerance), which is a modeldriven, generative, and aspects-based approach to specialize general-purpose middleware with failure handling and recovery semantics imposed by ...
