This position paper presents a concept for aspect-oriented design and a seamless integration of AO design and implementation. We suggest a design notation based on standard UML which separates clearly the reusable programming language independent design of aspect code and base (business logic) code from the language dependant cross-cutting parts. Thus fostering reuse of aspect code and simplify...

Since Smith seminal work, there have been numerous reflective language definition and implementation proposals. These proposals, initially restricted to functional languages, have been quickly extended to object-oriented languages. Unfortunately, reflective objectoriented language definitions remained mostly ad hoc. In this paper, we present a generic reification technique which enables the sel...

In this paper, we describe the implementation of IUGQL, a graph oriented query language for object oriented databases that is based on the Graph Oriented Object Data (GOOD) model. In the implementation, databases (graphs) are represented as a set of (named) binary relations. The graph oriented queries are translated into equivalent Tarski algebra expressions. These Tarski expressions manipulate...

Aspect-oriented programs have received much attention from software testing researchers. Various testing techniques and approaches have been proposed to tackle issues and challenges when testing aspect-oriented programs including traditional mutation testing. In traditional mutation testing of aspect-oriented programs, mutants are generated by making small changes to the syntax of the aspect-or...

the meaning of an idiomatic expression cannot be transparently worked out from the meanings of its constituent words due to its figurative and unpredictable nature. consequently, the syntactic composition and the structural paradigm of an idiomatic expression are supposed to be the same in every context. however, this is not the case in the institutionalized second language varieties of english...

This paper presents a new Object Oriented Probabilistic Relational language which is built upon the Bangsø Object Oriented Bayesian Network framework. We are currently studying the application of this language for situation assessment in complex military and business domains.

Language teachers usually face issues regarding the most effective methods of teaching. Teaching language to nonnative speakers of English involves certain problems and challenges at all levels of instruction. Due to the unsatisfactory results of focus on forms and focus on meaning instructions and their inevitable inadequacies, focus on form instruction along with its multiple techniques are r...

The conventions connected to the use of object-oriented frameworks can be described by framework-specific language extensions. The programmer is then aided in writing more correct programs. In an integrated structure-oriented language-design environment such language extensions can be supported internally.

This paper presents AspectOptima, a language independent, aspect-oriented framework consisting of a set of ten base aspects — each one providing a well-defined reusable functionality — that can be configured to ensure the ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) for transactional objects. The overall goal of AspectOptima is to serve as a case study for aspect-oriented...
