The separation of concerns at implementation level with AspectOriented Programming (AOP) tools raises the conflicts among aspects. The conflicts detection and resolution are critical operations. First the detection of conflicts is a manual task in most of the AOP tools, second the resolution of conflicts is enclosed to order-schemes. The AOP tools structures and mechanisms do not always support...

Runtime monitoring, where some part of a program’s behavior and/or data is observed during execution, is a very useful technique that software developers to use for understanding, analyzing, debugging, and improving their software. Aspect oriented programming is a natural fit for supporting the wide ranging instrumentation needs of runtime monitoring, but so far the limitations of AOP framework...

The benefits of using aspect oriented programming (AOP) for separation of concerns is well-known and has been demonstrated in many works, including for dependable computing. In this paper, we use this composition capability of AOP to develop micro-aspects that can be combined together to realize a given fault tolerance mechanism. The toolbox of microaspects can be used to make mechanisms easily...

Languages for aspect-oriented programming (AOP) [5], such as AspectJ, are now popular, and the concepts used by the AOP community such as join points, pointcuts and advices are well-known. At the same time, in recent years, the aspect oriented software development (AOSD) approach has been developing itself beyond the programming activity. More particularly, the Early Aspects Initiative [9] advo...

It has now been over a decade since the introduction of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP). As the AspectJ programming language (being one of the notable technologies of AOP) gains acceptance in industry and academia, its comprehensibility property is an important factor in determining an eventual wide acceptance by practitioners in development and maintenance as well as by educators who aim at ...

In the last few years Component Based Development (CBD) and Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) are gaining more and more relevance. Whilst CBD has been shown as a good mean to reuse designs and to build complex systems by the plug-and-play mechanisms, AOP makes code more reusable and complex systems more comprehensible. However, little efforts have been made to integrate both paradigms and conse...

Growing dependency of mankind on software technology increases the need for thorough testing of the software applications and automated testing techniques that support testing activities. We have outlined our testing strategy for performing various types of automated testing of Java applications using AspectJ which has become the de-facto standard for Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP). Likewise...

This study evaluated the effect of peroxidation assisted by ultraviolet radiation (H2O2/UV), which is an advanced oxidation process (AOP), on Giardia duodenalis cysts. The cysts were inoculated in synthetic and surface water using a concentration of 12 g H2O2 L(-1) and a UV dose (λ = 254 nm) of 5,480 mJcm(-2). The aqueous solutions were concentrated using membrane filtration, and the organisms ...

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has been introduced as a potential programming approach for the specification of nonfunctional component properties, such as fault-tolerance, logging and exception handling. Such properties are referred to as crosscutting concerns and represent critical issues that conventional programming approaches could not modularize effectively leading to a complex code. T...

A new process to pretreat blood samples has been developed. This process combines the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) treatment (using H(2)O(2) and UV irradiation) with acid deactivation of the enzyme catalase in blood. A four-cell reactor has been designed and built in house. The effect of pH on the AOP process has been investigated. The kinetics of the pretreatment process shows that at high...
