purpose: to compare the effects of short-tem and long-term systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of confirmed ocular toxoplasmosis. methods: this randomized comparative clinical trial was performed on 69 patients with confirmed active ocular toxoplasmosis with typical clinical manifestations. the subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 10 days (group a, 33 cases) or 4-6 weeks (gro...

As a security policy model evolves, the design of security systems using that model could become increasingly complicated. It is necessary to come up with an approach to guide the development, reuse and evolution of the design. In this paper, we propose an aspect-oriented design approach to designing flexible and extensible security systems. A case study demonstrates that such an approach has m...

This is a preview of the workshop on Aspect-Oriented Programming at ICSE 98. It includes an overview of the position papers. The workshop takes place on Monday, April the 2

Advances in information technology have given rise to online hotel reservation options. The user review feature is an important factor during the booking of hotels. Generally, most service providers provide and rating features for assessing However, not all or recap reviews every aspect services offered. Therefore, we propose a method summarise based on multiple aspects, including food, room, s...

This paper presents and analyzes the encoding of aspect in Heritage Russian (HR), an incompletely acquired language spoken by those for whom another language became dominant at an early age. The HR aspectual system is distinct from the baseline. Aspectual distinctions are lost due to the leveling or loss of morphological marking. As a result, heritage speakers often maintain only one member of ...

Stepwise refinement (SWR) is fundamental to software engineering. As aspect-oriented programming (AOP) gains momentum in software development, aspects should be subject to SWR as well. In this paper, we introduce the notion of aspect refinement that unifies AOP and SWR. To reflect this unification to programming language level, we present an implementation technique for refining aspects based o...

We propose a methodology, based on Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM), for incorporating security mechanisms in an application. The functionality of the application is described using the primary model and the attacks are specified using aspects. The attack aspect is composed with the primary model to obtain the misuse model. The misuse model describes how much the application can be compromised. I...
