This paper comments on the principles that informed Rwanda’s successful efforts to adapt its health system to population needs, and more specifically to reduce health inequities. The point is made that these may be universally applicable for countries as they deal with the challenges of post-2015 health agenda.

It's no big secret that one of the primary influences of service-orientation has been the well established object-oriented design paradigm. Though there are distinct differences, there is also much common ground between these two design philosophies. In fact, if it wasn't for the innovative design principles and patterns formalized by objectorientation, the service-oriented architectural model ...

Aspect-oriented modeling deals with cross-cutting concerns at early stages of the software development. Weaving involves highly abstract aspect descriptions, and it is necessary to take into account application specific constraints. We adopt a role-based aspect-oriented modeling method and define a notion of the aspect weaving in a systematic way. We further discuss how we use Alloy, a lightwei...

As the field of aspect-oriented software development [14] has become more firmly established certain emphasis has now been diverted to introducing the benefits of the approach to existing software where aspects were not made explicit during design or implementation. This paper proposes an automatic, dynamic analysis-based approach to aspect mining that affords the recovery of reuse aspectual vi...

Superpositions are useful relationships between programs or components in component based approaches to software development. We study the application of invasive superposition morphisms between components in the architecture design language CommUnity. This kind of morphism allows us to characterise component extension relationships, and in particular, serves an important purpose for enhancing ...

This report summarizes the outcome of the 14th Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM), as part of the 12th International Conference onModel Driven Engineering Languages and Systems – MoDELS 2009 – in Denver, Colorado, USA, on the 4th of October 2009. The workshop brought together researchers and practitioners from two communities: aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) and software mod...

Aspect Oriented Software Development has been proposed as a means to improve modularization of software in the presence of crosscutting concerns. Compared to object-oriented or procedural approaches, Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) has not yet been applied in many industrial applications. In this thesis we investigate the application of AOP within an industrial context and propose a novel sol...

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) provides new constructs and tools to handle cross-cutting concerns in programs. Fully realizing the potentials of Aspect-Oriented Software Development requires new abstractions and techniques for testing. This paper proposes a first step towards a practical approach to test aspect-oriented software. The proposed approach is accompanied by a selection algorithm ...

A lot of different composition mechanisms claim to permit aspect-oriented software development because they are able to handle the problem of tangled code which was the original target of aspect-oriented programming (AOP). However, it becomes hard to compare those different approaches, because they usually focus on different kinds of tangled code. For comparing different approaches it is necess...
